Thomas Noland, she is sent to an Irish country school for some sort of an education. Captain Roderick Allen, the new master of Wild Craig Manor, who lives near the school Rose is attending, arrives in the village. He meets Rose Farley, and is struck with her beauty. Rose has an unwelcome suitor in Terence McCoy, who pursues her and endeavors to force his unwelcome attentions upon her at every opportunity. She manages to keep him in his place, however and her love affair with Captain Allen progresses. A cloud, however, rests over Captain Allen's life. His wife is insane and confined in an asylum. Her death is hourly expected, but finally the Captain receives a message stating that she will live on indefinitely. He tells Rose of the news that he has just received. She is of course, brokenhearted and he suffering, too, and anxious to be away from the old things, secretly leaves the manor. Her great sorrow so affects Rose that becomes she nearly mad and wanders about the grounds of the manor in a daze. The village priest advises her to drop her apparently unworthy love and accept the attentions of Terence McCoy, who, he says, is not an altogether undesirable match, being wealthy in the world's goods as compared with his neighbors. Squireen McCoy hits upon a fiendish plan for winning Rose. He forges a letter addressed to himself, purporting to have come from one of the Captain's servants, bearing the news of the master's death. He contrives to introduce this false communication at an opportune moment, but it only serves to renew the old grief on the part of the girl. McCoy conspires with Shaun, the carrier, who has been the victim of many of Rose's childish pranks and together they frame up a scheme. Shaun is about to have her arrested, when McCoy gallantly offers to assume the responsibility and save Rose. They arouse no feeling in her heart, however, but her willpower finally breaks down. The day for their wedding is set and the priest is ready to begin the ceremony. Great is the consternation of all, however, when Captain Allen suddenly arrives. He tells Rose of his insane wife's death and again pleads his love for Rose. All is finally explained and Rose turns to her old lover. The old aunt does not like the Captain and is about to put an Irish curse upon her niece. The old priest finally dissuades her, however, and blesses the two happy reunited lovers.
