The Sheridan clan led by matriarch Mrs. Sheridan and patriarch Jim Sr. clash with modern river of money power. Bibbs Sheridan resists becoming a business heir as son Roscoe drinks, Edith seeks marriage, and Bibbs debates value of wealth versus art in a sprawling family drama.
Bibbs and Mary share a calm evening as Bibbs reads Maurice Maeterlinck and speaks of dreams and beauty. Their exchange reveals unspoken feelings while the doorway light stays open as Bibbs leaves for church and Mary watches him depart.
A fragment from a dramatic scene centers on Mary watching for a man across a snowy night. A telegram arrives from Edith Lamiorn in New York announcing a marriage and move to Florida, shocking the household and heightening tension.
In the Sheridan household, tension erupts as Bibbs resists joining his father’s business and Gurney argues for Bibbs to make his own way. Sheridan, battered and furious from his injuries, rails at Gurney and the idea of Bibbs becoming a plumber or entrepreneur while Mrs. Sheridan and Edith weigh the family’s fortunes. Sheridan’s monologue twists through memory of Roscoe, a bank pivot, and the tragic cost of pursuing power over natural law.
