Charlotte would be a young girl around age sixteen attending an all girls private school. One of her female instructors falls in love with a General in the Army and wants to run away with him. She can’t however unless she brings along someone for the officers son to be with. She chooses Charlotte and runs away from the school with her to meet up with the Army men on base in New York City. The ladies are immediately forced into hiding because they aren’t allowed to be living on base with the men unmarried. The officer Joe, whom Mrs. Pillar fell in love with, wants to marry him right away. They are married in the states and he tells her they are leaving for France the day after the wedding.
Once in France Charlotte is supposed to marry the officers’ son, Bill. Bill however has other plans when he meets the lovely young Leah at a party one night in Paris. Bill marries Charlotte to make his father happy and they have four children. Leah however, is Bills mistress and they have three children together as well. When Charlotte finds out about the other children she commits suicide. Bill forces Leah to care for all seven children as her own, while he is away at battle. Leah eventually gives up and commits suicide as well. Bill is left to raise seven children alone.

Oh wow, nice twist to the story! I was not expecting to see that both the women would commit suicide. I don't feel sorry one bit for Bill, he did wrong and now he must face the consequences. What did Bill's father think of all this, or did he even know that Bill had a mistress? Hopefully Bill learned his lesson that it is not right to be messing around on your wife, or even to marry a woman just to make your father happy. I now feel sorry for the 7 children, because they didn't do anything to deserve to have their mother's commit suicide. Over all wonderful in to your side of the story.
