Stephen, too, must fight a battle against himself, but his struggle started generations before he was born, as he comes from a family of alcoholics. Stephen makes vow after vow to stop drinking, but always, finally, succumbs once again. For a while, even Sylvia cannot help him, because although she loves him, she is also repelled by him and everything for which he stands. Finally, however, Sylvia gets over her prejudice against poverty, helps Stephen reform, and marries him. Written by
