Overview
Fred Rees proposes to Edith Shanlon, contingent on her mother’s approval, which is initially denied due to the mother’s desire for a wealthy match. A dream reveals the potential unhappiness of such a marriage when Edith’s mother envisions Edith married to a wealthy man who neglects her. The dream, filled with infidelity and public humiliation, convinces the mother that a loveless, wealthy marriage is not worth it.
