James Larkin, the village parson, proposes to her and is accepted. Jane makes a very good little wife and everything runs smoothly until the musical comedy company with which Jane used to be, arrives in town, and Jane is recognized by the girls. Madge and two or three of her old companions call on Jane during a meeting of the missionary society, which breaks up in horrified confusion when the ladies learn that the strangers are members of the theatrical profession. Even Larkin is influenced by the women's story of what Jane "used to be." He turns against his wife and Jane decides to leave him. She is on her way to the station when she encounters Hud, a half-witted boy whom she had once saved from the hands of an angry constable, but who later had been sent to an asylum. Hud is sneaking into the school room with a large bread knife, intent on killing the children who have teased and taunted him. Confident in her influence over him, Jane succeeds in attracting his attention long enough to enable the children to escape, but she is wounded while trying to take the knife from the infuriated boy. After that she is reinstated in the good opinion of the village. The mothers of the children, whose lives had been threatened, make amends for their past aloofness.
