They receive a proposition from Henrietta Joyce, Mrs. Joyce's wealthy sister-in-law, to take Trixie as a companion, feed and clothe her, and in place of wages, send her mother an allowance sufficient to support the rest of the family. Both realize it is the solution of a hard problem, and Trixie accepts the offer. Henrietta is close-fisted and selfish in money matters, but she also has a strain of morbidly-romantic sentiment in her nature, so the largest part of Trixie's work is reading aloud to her mistress quantities of swashbuckling, mid-Victorian novels. Trixie makes the acquaintance of Tom Perry, a young bank clerk, and the acquaintance ripens into love. Tom manages to call at the house on banking business and tries in vain to get on Auntie's right side. She finds him making love to Trixie and tells her she will stop her allowance if she has anything more to do with Tom, scornfully explaining: "He's no hero. There are none nowadays." This gives the young people an idea: they arrange to have Tom's friend Phil break into the house as a burglar. Tom is to appear at the crucial moment and make himself a hero by "capturing" the "burglar." Unfortunately, two real burglars get into the house, so when Tom and Phil get there, they must become genuine heroes. After a terrific struggle, they overpower the thieves and send them off to jail. Henrietta, on being released from the chair to which she has been tied up and gagged, feels convinced she has found in Tom a real hero of modern times, and resolves to keep him in the family by consenting to his and Trixie's marriage.
