But once Julie moves in, Lady Henry constantly criticizes Julie about her predecessors' misfortunes. Lady Henry's nephew, Lord Delafield, falls for Julie, against his aunt's wishes. But Julie falls for Captain Warkworth, a rake who is having an affair with another woman. After Julie flees from her aunt's home, Warkworth invites her to spend the night with him. There, she discovers what a cad he really is. She wanders away, takes poison, and sits on a park bench, waiting to die. At the hospital, the police find Lord Delafield's card on her, and contact him. Delafield finds her and proposes marriage. The two live happily ever after.—scsu1975
- Julie le Breton is the illegitimate daughter of Lady Rose, whose own background resembles that of her daughter. Julie is buffeted by the ill treatment of her mother's family and nearly ruined by a fortune hunter, but her own resources and goodness stand her in good stead.—Jim Beaver <jumblejim@prodigy.net>
