When newcomer Robert Weston visits their cottage while inspecting his new estate, Anne accidentally topples into his arms from a ladder. The Colonel, mistaking the scene, demands honor for Anne and a hasty marriage takes place to calm him. But the Colonel's recounting of events does painful damage to Anne's reputation.
