"Tommy" is intended to depict the making of a woman. She is a child when we first meet her, and all her thoughts are for her work, until one afternoon a godd-looking, pleasant-voiced young gentleman comes along, and "Tommy" (otherwise Jane) learns that there are other the business interests in a woman's life.  The present promises to be delightful, but unfortunately there is a past.   Usually the past belongs to the heroine, but here it is the hero's, and "there is the child to be considered." "Tommy" decides that, though the law of man may be on her side, the law of Heaven is on the side of the other woman, and so kisses her lover good-bye and goes back to her work.   Long afterwards she finds her lover, a prematurely aged, broken man, living in poverty with the child, whose mother is his wife.  The two women meet, and "Tommy" learns the truth ;  that even the child was never his.  She begins to think now for herself.   Her sacrifice condemned him to a life of misery and shame.  It is not too late to save him-both him and the child.  But the way leads again through sacrifice-the sacrifice of her good name.  She accepts it.  "Could you brave the world?" the man asks her.  "God, you, and myself, that is my world," she answers, "It will understand."

Condition is Very Good.
