Her resigna- tion however is delayed when she fearns Morgan is to defend a sup- posed friend, Bert Crawford. Morgan wins Crawford's acqui- tal” Crawford leaves town at onc: followed closely by Iris, Morgan's beautiful wite. She writes to Mor- gan she will never return. Nan saves Morgan from despair forcing him into his work. For six months she acts as long- distance housckeeper for him, win- ning the love of little Cur son, and bringing comfort to who ironically thinks only of other. Morgan tells her he is divorc- ing Iris and asks her to marry him. They are prevented from goinz or their honeymoon by the unexpecten arrival of a pleading client.
