When Harold told Mr. Worth of his love for Dorothy, the father inquired how much money he earned. Harold said that his salary amounted to ten dollars a week. Dorothy and her parents left the town for a girl's seminary. Too love-sick to study, Dorothy mooned away her time, and once, when especially lonely, wrote a letter to her parents, telling them that she felt she could not live any longer. She had no intention of mailing the letter and tossed it into the wastepaper basket, but Miss Abigail Winthrop, the principal of the seminary, found and mailed it. Harold, having read a novel description of a knight of old rescuing his sweetheart from a convent, decided to try his luck at the same game and hastened to the seminary. He managed to get the janitor of the seminary intoxicated and took his place, leaving a note for Dorothy that he would be in her room at ten that night. Dorothy and her roommates were greatly enthused with this thrilling romance, but when they received word that they were to be initiated into the Sigma Phi Sorority that night at ten, they were all at sea as to what they could do with Harold. Harold arrived in the room first and when they heard the sorority girls at the door, Dorothy pushed him into the bedroom. He hid under the bed, where one of the girls, swinging her bare foot, hit him in the face. She motioned the other girls to follow her into the hall and there she told them. Harold concealed himself in the clothes closet and Dorothy put a piece of fur under the bed so that the girls thought that was what the girl's foot had struck. Dorothy and her room-mates lowered Harold out the window. Just then Miss Abigail and Dorothy's parents rushed into the room and found her with flour all over her face, for she had been through a part of her initiation. Seeing such a sight, Mrs. Worth proceeded to faint and her husband dashed to open the window. Harold was dropped from quite a height and was stunned by the fall. Mr. Worth asked Dorothy what she had on her face, and, learning that it was flour, threw the sack containing the rest of it from the window. It landed on Harold's head. The fatal letter was produced. Dorothy was inspired to say that she must have had a nightmare and have written the letter in her sleep. All was peace again. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
