The Finger of Fate (1913) Online
Through visiting her sick mother in the hospital, Marjorie Grayson becomes acquainted with a young doctor, who is in attendance there. An intimate friendship springs up between them and Marjorie's visits to her mother become less frequent as she spends much of the time in the doctor's company. Her mother is released from the hospital at last, and returns to her home. Learning of her daughter's new attachment, she is deeply disturbed by it. Marjorie accepts an invitation to dine with the doctor in his apartment, since love has given her trust in him. The doctor, while waiting for his guest, falls asleep and in his dreams sees vividly pictured the inevitable result if he takes advantage of the girl's innocence, the sorrow and shame which would be her lot. The dream creates so strong an impression upon his mind that when Marjorie comes to his door, he will not admit her to his apartment, but takes her instead to a minister, who marries them.
