through the efforts of a young
sailor who has loved the girl from
early childhood, and who also de-
sires to make her his wife, the
young people are separated and
made to believe later that each
has been untaithful to the other.

of the efforts of Lady Chartaris
and the father of the Earl.

from him to the young nobleman
and several complications arise
from this, which for n time take
on n serious aspect, both for Dora
and her lover The time arrives
