Hers is not the usual reunion-rosy picture of college life. "You don't really enjoy the four years. You are working so hard at deciding whether you can be someone on your own."

His father dies as they are about to leave, and the girl, not knowing why he missed the train, goes on without him-to become Adolphe Menjou's lavishly kept woman in the capital.
