A nervous, fault-finding invalid decides that his health requires that he shall live in the South, and manages to exchange his place "Up North," for a shack and an orange grove in Florida. Accompanied by his devoted wife he starts for his new home. On the boat trip the couple meet a wealthy young clubman. This man is impressed with the wife's beauty, and for her sake puts up with the invalid. The husband plays cards with the clubman and a couple of his chums. He loses, but does not make any scene. In Florida, the wife, who is an expert needlewoman, obtains fancy sewing to do, and while delivering some work to a hotel guest, again meets the clubman. He renews his acquaintance with the family, and the husband soon sees that the couple are in love, but does not object. He watches the situation with amusement, and when he believes the time is ripe, he approaches the clubman with a proposition, that for the sum of $10,000, he, the husband, will get a divorce and go away. The clubman at first listened to the suggestion with horror. But at last he agreed to pay the money, believing that thereby he would add to the wife's happiness. The wife came in while the deal was being discussed. She seized the shameful paper and tore it into bits, then ordered the clubman out of her house, refusing to listen to his offered explanation. When he died some time later, she was still ministering to him, and trying to make his last moments comfortable. Many days after the funeral, the widow and the clubman met. At first she refused to talk to him, but gradually, as she thought of his many kindly ways she relented, and they parted "friends.
