Marian and Larry are together/married maybe.
George is having trouble with the railroad. Marian shows George her “worthless railroad shares.” These prove to be very valuable and help George.
•Larry asks Marian why she thought her railroad shares were worthless and she tells him that her lawyer, Tom Raikes (her first ‘temporary’ fiancé), at the time of her father‘s death, told her that her railroad shares were worthless and she had inherited basically nothing ($30) from her father.
•Larry, then looks into Raikes the lawyer (possibly with a PI and his connections).
He finds out that Raikes had acquired a large amount of money at the same time that Marian‘s father had passed. Meaning that Raikes had stolen the money from Marian.
•Larry gets Marian’s money back and destroys Raikes.

George Russell has railroad issues
•Bertha Russell, now divorced from George, begins seeing/dating Mr. Merritt. (Remember that she had invited Merritt to dinner so that George could get him to sell shares of his family’s railroad to him.)
George had told her to impress him then fussed at her for flirting with him.
Now Bertha begins dating Merritt to hurt George and also to move on. She helps Merritt to gain more control of the railroad away from George.
•Marian and Larry are together. George is having trouble with the railroad. Marian shows George her “worthless railroad shares.” These prove to be very valuable and help George.

Turner/Mrs. Winterton and Oscar marry.
Oscar tells her, “With your money and my connections we could have the world at our feet.”
•Imagine Aunt Agnes finding out that Turner is marrying her son. (Remember that she asked/told Marian to ask Berta Russell to fire Turner)
•Ward McAllister, now socially exiled because of his tell-all book of society, will now join forces with Oscar and Turner. (Remember he told Mrs. Aster that he created the society. The Mrs. Aster’s 400)
