Description Mary Ann is a poor country girl who goes as servant in a squalid London lodging-house, where she meets and falls in love with a young composer of genius, heart-broken at the rejection of his symphony. Mary Ann becomes unexpectedly heiress to a million, and offers help to Lancelot, the composer, who rejects it. Then they subsequently meet a brilliant society lady and a lionised musician, the old love is revived, and all ends happily.
