- Summary:
- Dr. Michael Ivanovich's pent-up fury with the unwelcome philanthropy of Princess Vera finds a long-awaited vent when he encounters her one evening in the garden of a monastery she has honored with a visit. Throwing caution and class protocol to the winds, he accuses her of monstrous interference in the other's lives, to nobody's good but her own. The Princess hears bitter truths as never before, and sheds offended tears, but the next morning she accepts the doctor's apology with a disarming smile and is driven away in her carriage, happier than ever.
