Rosalind Rivers schemed for Lennox, became Imperial Dame; her sister, Jocelyn Rivers, married into Garrison Manor, ended destitute. Both reborn. Jocelyn snatches Lennox, 'future Grand Chancellor,' and pushes Alastair Garrison onto Rosalind. Rosalind marries Alastair and joins forces with the feigning-illness Alastair. They foil a prince's plots. Lennox disgraced; Jocelyn reaps what she sowed. Rosalind and Alastair ennobled as Duke of National Defense and Imperial Dame.
