In a late nineteenth century temperance vignette a young Mary Edwards pleads with her drunken father to stay home from a storm and keeps vigil as he relapses into drink. A tavern scene features an old man’s moving song about loss and ruin, moving Edwards to sobriety. The story ends with a sober reunion, asserting music’s power to steer hearts toward virtue.
