Silent devotion amid a tangle of loves and loss
In a Greencastle scene a painter Harold Clayton confronts love and art as Miss Rayburn resists engagement. A confession of true intention follows after a chance portrait and a secret encounter with Margaret Rayburn, revealing a pledged fidelity that ends in mutual vow. A separate Coral Cove note recounts a postal peace warrant failed prank and a tragic love letter tale from Corvas, Ohio, and a clever plagiarism accusation against Rev. Lorimer.
