...goes quietly mad. With his family crumbling about him, thick-headed Father Ardsley cheerfully congratulates one & all upon their general good fortune, believes that conditions will improve, all will be well. Very softly, Eva, a crazy gleam in her eyes, begins singing "God Save The King." Her younger sister gives her one frightened glance, rushes off to join her married suitor, thus completing the cycle of destruction...
