Squire Raby and his sister Edith are living a restful life at Raby Manor. Edith falls in love with the young artist, who is making some alterations in it. But the Squire is averse to her having anything to do with him and orders her from the house. Twenty-five years later we find Edith a widow. Henry, her son, an expert wood carver, is her sole support. Miss Garden, who visits the place in which Henry is employed, is so struck by his work that she engages him to give her lessons. This news is conveyed to his employer and he is dismissed. His fellow workmen are jealous of his ability. Henry is obliged to stop giving lessons to Miss Garden, as they are contemplating visiting their old friend, Squire Raby. While on their visit, they decide to go for a climb up a steep hill. Mr. Raby apprises them of a coming storm, but in spite of his warning they venture up. They are caught in a terrible snowstorm, and Grace is separated from her father. She goes blindly on, until she comes to the door of the old church where Henry has his secret ship. Henry’s enemies, having located this shop, plan to attack him during the night. He is about to leave the church when he is clubbed into insensibility. As they are about to drag him away the Squire and his men appear and quietly disperse the ruffians. However, Henry and his mother are reconciled to Mr. Raby’s family, and it is quite evident that the young people will be more to each other than teacher and pupil.
