She scorns her former companions of her own age, and dresses herself so as to appear much older. When Grayson, a young man from the city, appears in the village on business, and passes her in his natty clothes, she thinks him a veritable Sir Launcelot. They meet later, and he, deceived as to her age. falls in love with her. She sentimentally allows her imagination to run away with her and tells him about an unhappy home and her burning ambitions and her great desire to satisfy them where opportunities present themselves. He sympathetically proposes they elope to the city. She assents and her brother Jack, who overhears them, runs home and tells mother. The good woman makes a wild dash to where Myra and her cavalier are completing their plans for the coming elopement and marriage. Angrily confronting Grayson, she demands to know what it all means. He defends himself by saying he is in love with the girl and wishes to marry her. Mother quickly tells him that Myra is only a child and not of marriageable age. He stands speechless with astonishment, unable to express his apologies, while mother leads her weeping daughter home by the ear. No real harm has been done, and Myra, under her mother's wise counsel, comes to her senses. Thoroughly cured of her morbidly sentimental ideas, she goes back to the natural playmates of her own age, in short dresses and with her hair in a braid.
