As their shared wealth disappears, Elisabet’s love for her husband Richard also evaporates. She leaves him and finds a new husband with his finances in order. When the new husband subsequently leaves her and her daughter falls ill, Elisabet understands she is at fault and asks for Richard’s forgiveness.
