Afterwards when she is taken in by a friendly Spanish family temptation comes her way once more and she falls for the charms of Pedro, the eldest son. But just when she thought she'd found love and a chance of happiness again a telegraph shatters her dreams. Finding herself pregnant she is faced with an even greater challenge when Pedro's family refuse to believe the child is his. Thrown out onto the street and at her wits end the future seems so bleak that Gaynor wonders if it is even worth going on
