A Woman Perfected

The eccentric miser Donald Lindsay is struck down by apoplexy and dies, unable to tell his daughter Nora where his money comes from. Nora’s poor friend Elaine Harding is staying with her and has stolen £3000 from the dead man’s study. She elopes with her unscrupulous fiancé Herbert Nash. Nora, penniless, takes cheap lodgings in London and finds secretarial work. Lindsay has been running a patent medicine company under a false name, and has died of shock after learning of a complicated conspiracy by a minor character to forge his signature. Nora marries her fiancé Robert Spencer, and the Nashes prosper in Canada
