Synopsis
In order to please her parents, Betsy O'Hara marries Lord Frederick Berolles. Her life is unhappy due to his constant public insults after he sees her with her former fiancé, impoverished Sir Paradine Fuldes. Eventually she sacrifices her own reputation to save her indiscreet sister Kitty's marriage, and Lord Frederick divorces her. Some years later in Monte Carlo, Lady Frederick, a much discussed, heavily indebted divorcée, becomes, through no encouragement of her own, the object of young Lord Charles Mereston's infatuation, to the distress of his mother. Again Lady Frederick sacrifices her reputation, because of her friendly affection for Charles, by refusing to answer Lady Mereston's insults by producing letters that would damage the reputation of the late Lord Mereston. After Lady Frederick, to disillusion Charles, lets him watch her put on her morning make-up to emphasize the difference in their ages, Charles' uncle, the now wealthy Sir Paradine, finds out the truth about Lady Frederick and proposes.
