Catherine went off with Morris as soon as she arrived in New York from Europe. Doctor Sloper was furious about it and Catherine was denied any fortune from him. Sadly their marriage didn't last long, as Doctor Sloper had predicted, with Morris leaving her without waiting for the birth of their daughter, who was incredibly beautiful.
Their charming daughter grew up into an intelligent and adorable girl with her mother's loving much love and care, but she was physically fragile under their simple life. As a result, when she was seven years old, she became seriously ill and desperate Catherine begged her father for his help. As soon as he saw his granddaughter, Doctor Sloper loved her, as she reminded him of his loving wife and his cold stiff heart melted with love.
Doctor Sloper had changed his will again, to have his granddaughter inherit all of his property, and he invited Catherine and her daughter back to his house and they lived together happily ever after.
Meanwhile Morris got on a Hudson River ship, which had just started their business as a pleasure boat, and looked for a new position. He was so handsome and amusing that many women were attracted by his charm but all was just temporary because they found out his lazy nature easily.
The Captain of the ship was interested in Morris' reputation, he employed him as an official host of his pleasure boat to entertain people, which was perfect for Morris and soon the Hudson River Cruise became very popular and successful, Morris enjoyed himself on the boat for the rest of his life.
