Flashbacks reveal the story of the sweet, rich, and beautiful Clarissa Richmond and her friendship with bitter, impoverished Hesther Shaw. Their fates are intertwined even as their paths diverge.

| Quotes |
Hesther Shaw:
You say you love her; well, so do I him; and if anyone comes between, so much the worse. I've no quarrel with those that don't interfere; but if you love her, keep her from getting in my way. Peter Rokeby: Pretty speech but dead in character. For once you've spoken the truth, my dear, I do believe you'd stop at nothing. Hesther Shaw: Then remember it! Peter Rokeby: There's one factor you've overlooked... me! You see, I'm not a gentleman. I swear but that if she comes to harm through you, I'd break that lovely little neck of yours with less regret than I'd stamp on a snake. [He slaps her and departs] See more » |
