DEVOTION.

Shirley Mortimer is the second daughter of a wealthy London family, who view her as plain and treat her as little more than a servant. She disguises herself as an elderly matron, Mrs. Hastings, and begins to work for David Trent, a defense attorney, who is defending a man accused of murdering his wife. After spending an evening with Shirley (out of disguise) and her father, David realizes who "Mrs. Hastings" is, and reveals that he has fallen in love with her.
