Roxana's maid Amy refuses to leave her lover even though she receives no salary for her work. Another poor old woman whom Roxana had helped during her former prosperity adds her efforts to those of the old aunt and Amy. Eventually, Amy plots to force the five children into Roxana's fled husband's sister's house, which she does.The cruel sister-in-law will raise the five children. Roxana is penniless and almost desperate when Mr. --, her landlord, after expressing his admiration for her, praises her strength under all her difficulties and offers to help her clean up. He gives her back all the furniture she had confiscated, gives her food and money, and generally behaves with such kindness and frankness that Amy urges Roxana to become the knight's lover if she asks.
