He meets a young woman, Marjorie Holbrook, and falls in love with her, serenades her, and courts her in the old romantic troubadour way. The girl, Marjorie, loves him, but his improvidence saddens her and she chooses as her future husband a practical merchant of the village. They are married and Vitturo, in broken-hearted resignation, conceals his grief, plays at her wedding. He wanders out into the world with his violin and his mongrel dog, saddened by his loss, and puts a new thrill in his music for the lovers who later hear him. Marjorie and her husband settle down to life. She finds her husband cold, and her life is miserable. She is forced to become a drudge. She bears a baby girl and the vagabond minstrel, who has returned to the village on his regular rounds, plays under window during the hours of her suffering, and in his music gives her strength to meet her ordeal. He knows of and shares her sufferings with her, and learning something of the character of her husband, he loiters in the neighborhood and watches over the woman secretly. The husband meets him prowling about and drives him away, but Vitturo returns, and when the husband is harshest to the woman, Vitturo, beneath her windows, plays upon his violin and sends her strength. Finally, the husband, grown rich by his miserliness, deserts the wife and baby for another woman. Marjorie is heart-broken and penniless. Vitturo provides for her, but makes no advances. Instead, he follows the man who has caused the unhappiness, meets him at a village fete, and in a dramatic scene forces him to give up his liaison and return to his wife and child. He effects a regeneration in the heart of the husband, leads him back to Marjorie, reunites them and takes up his old violin and his mongrel dog and goes on his way.
