She might have married him had fate not decreed otherwise. She meets and accidentally escapes the man she could have loved and would have married; she stooped to tie her shoestrings, diverting her attention from him. Had their eyes met, both their lives would have been different. Leroy Farley, the man favored by her parents, prevails and she marries him. Her life is unhappy despite his great riches and social prominence. One day, out for a stroll, she meets some little children and her heart goes out to them as she thinks of the comfort they might be to her were they her own. As she stoops to kiss one of them, Harry Weston, the man she could have loved who would have loved her with all his heart, happens by, gazing with admiration on her and the scene before him. As a married woman, she naturally repulses his stare and goes home, where in lonely meditation she thinks of her unsatisfied life and the irony of fate. While she is thus engaged, Harry Weston, in his bachelor apartments, pictures in his reverie, what his life might have been had he married the woman he could have loved.
