Miss Florabel Thurston is betrothed to Ben Lawrence, a young artist. One day while at work in his studio, a poor little flower seller calls to sell her blossoms. She is cold and hungry, and Lawrence sits her down before the lunch spread for him, but which he has not touched. It happens that Miss Thurston drops in at the studio at this time and, finding the flower girl and aware that she is not a model, leaves abruptly in a huff. Under the influence of her mother (who has long been cheated on by Mr. Thurston), Florabel is about to break off the engagement. The flower girl however, learning of the trouble she has innocently caused, hastens to put things right. Explanations bring a reconciliation of Ben and Florabel.

If a love story was told from beginning to end without anything to disturb its delightful charm, no doubt it would be so commonplace that it would be lacking in interest. Consequently, various disturbances are interlarded to add to the interest and keep the interest of the reader, or hold the attention of the audience which is watching a picture. In this instance the poor little flower girl who innocently causes the misunderstanding that almost separates the lovers excites one's pity. She is the pathetic figure in this story, and unquestionably the sympathy of the audience will flow to her. That the lovers make up their differences does not seem strange. Lovers have a way of doing that. That they will live happily ever afterward is equally apparent, and this affords a satisfactory ending to a drama which included something of storm and stress. Like all the Biograph pictures this is well acted and the photography is quite in keeping with the subject and its suggestions. - The Moving Picture World, February 19, 1910
