Page "City Lights" Paragraph 4

Several months later, the Little Tramp wanders the streets again, far more ragged than we have seen him before.

Searching for the girl, he returns to her original street corner, but she is not there.

With her sight restored, the girl has opened up a flower shop with her grandmother.

When a rich man comes into the shop, the girl wonders if he is her mysterious benefactor.

The Tramp, in ragged clothes and tormented by the same newsboys, suddenly finds himself staring at her through the window.

She jokes to her colleague that she has " made a conquest ".

Seeing a flower that he has retrieved from the gutter falling apart in his hand, the girl kindly offers him a fresh flower from her shop, and a coin.

The Tramp begins to leave, then reaches for the flower.

The girl takes hold of his hand to place the coin in it and, recognizing the touch of his hand, she realizes who he is.

" You?

" she says, and he nods, asking, " You can see now?

" She replies, " Yes, I can see now ," and holds his hand to her heart.

The Little Tramp smiles shyly at the girl, clutching the flower to his face, his eyes full of love and hope, as the film ends.
