The guests have all departed save one, the husband's most intimate and trusted friend. That this man should abuse the confidence of his friend and attempt to force his attentions upon the wife was a thing the merchant deemed little call to fortify against. His unexpected return found the faithless friend in a compromising attitude toward the wife. Quietly but firmly the merchant demands satisfaction and the two men enter the beautiful conservatory, the pleading wife staying back in the drawing-room where with bated breath she awaits the result. The sharp bark of a weapon breaks the silence and when with slow and measured thread the husband returns she pleads for mercy. His only reply is "Live to cleanse yourself from the shame, and God pity you." With these words he departs into the night and henceforth her life is one continued gloom. The whole tragedy is revealed to a struggling poet through the whispering of the muses. The vision is faithfully recorded by the poet and is the basis of success in his chosen calling. The poet carefully follows the threads of his poem and locates the principles and through his efforts the penitent and sorrowful wife is led to her husband and a happy reunion results to crown the author's masterful efforts.
