Plot
Mildred lives with her grandfather, Civil War veteran Jabez Burr, whom she loves deeply. Jabez demonstrates tendencies of heavy drinking regardless of whether or not Mildred is next to him. One day, Mildred's stepmother arrives and smells Jabez's liquor, accusing him of "contaminating" her child. Tensions grow and to avoid more drama and guilt, Jabez leaves, leaving behind nothing but a note. Mildred's father attempts to stop him, but Jabez believes he is coming between their family and insists he must go. His disappearance causes a stir within the family as Mildred cries and her father confronts his wife who believes she acted as any Christian woman should.
