Brewster had lost his fortune in speculation just before his sudden | death, so that Virginia is left desti- tute. She pawns some of her jewelry | and a broker friend. Oliver Cutter, promises to invest the money for her. She avouds all her wealthy friends | and sceks work under an assumed name, but without success.
