The Answer of the Roses

Antonio, an old peasant, lives in his cottage with his son Nello and his two nieces, Nina and Stella. Nello fervently loves Nina and is loved by her in return. Stella is passionately in love with Nello, who treats her as a child. Nello and Nina plight their troth with the red roses of June, and they are the one emblem of undying love with them. Nello gets an offer from a wealthy uncle to go to Naples to study a profession. He accepts, and promises to write Nina, bidding her to send him, from time to time, a red rose, to tell him that she still loves him. Two years later, old Antonio dies. It is too far for Nello to come from Naples to visit his cousins, but he tells the girls to stay in the cottage and live in it and he will supply their needs. Stella's love for Nello grows stronger and she resolves to separate him and Nina if she can. She goes to the post office, receives the letters written by Nello to Nina, destroys them, and tells Nina that Nello has not written her. Nina, thinking herself neglected, begins to pine and fade. Nello feels neglected and uncared for by Nina, and writes her a final letter, telling her if she is tired of him to send him a white rose, and if she still loves him, to send him a red one. Stella opens the letter and sends Nello a white rose. Nina goes into a decline and the doctor considers her condition very serious. Stricken with remorse, Stella makes her way to Naples, sees Nello, and on her knees she confesses her deception, beseeches his forgiveness and begs him to return to her sister. He does, and is just barely in time; she is heartbroken but on his return she recovers. Happiness is restored, and Stella, through her penitence and kind attention to her sister, is forgiven by the young lovers.
