The curate arrives with Kenneth Dowey of the Black Watch in tow.
But Mrs. Dowey has no son; she only pretends after seeing Kenneth's name in a newspaper.
Since he has no family, he agrees to spend his leave with her and Mrs. Dowey has the long wished for experience of mothering a boy.
When Private Dowey does not return, the old lady puts away his effects and bravely sets out to work.
