He will have nothing to do with her and her child, Peggy, a bright and attractive girl, in whom the mother's interest is entirely centered. Being left in cramped circumstances, the daughter writes to her father for assistance without avail. A young physician of the neighborhood, attending both the mother, who is more or less of an invalid, and the grandfather, who is afflicted with gout, calls to see Peggy's mother just as she receives the old man's note of denial. The doctor loves Peggy and comes to the rescue. He recommends Peggy to her grandfather as a trained nurse, with instructions that the old gentleman must accept her services and treatment implicitly, or he will refuse to attend him further. Peggy, whom the grandfather has never seen, is introduced by the doctor, and at once begins to take charge of the irritable and obstinate old patient. She proves herself master of the situation, and through her skillful and tactful handling of her grandfather he becomes tractable and amiable, as well as entirely cured of his ailments, and very much attached to his pretty young nurse. When she makes herself known as his granddaughter, at first he is ashamed of himself for his conduct toward her and her mother; then he kisses her just as the young doctor enters with Peggy's mother, whom the old gentleman takes in his arms and fondly embraces, while Peggy and the doctor are pleased with the results of their happy scheme and themselves.
