English romance. Cecil, an artist, saves a respectable but unemployed girl from a street bully and after her story is heard in court and published he seeks to marry her. Society is outraged and only a friend's intervention saves them from becoming outcasts by marrying. Two years later, much better established in his work, he marries a clergyman's daughter - with the same friend's help - and only they know her true identity. Unusual. (PB)
