They were a devoted couple, but May's experience at housekeeping was a little shy and it caused the first quarrel. Angry and bitter one day, Harry writes a letter to his pretty wife, telling her he is going away disgusted. He packs his suit case and catches the 10:30 train for Seaville. May, whose feelings are also hurt, has made a similar plan. Not noticing her husband's letter, which he hid under a blotter, she writes him an almost identical one and leaves for Seaville on the 11:30. There she engages a room at the same hotel and is located next door to Harry. Neither is very happy; the cooking is nothing wonderful and May is annoyed by the eyeing of the gilded youths. Both regret the situation and retire early, only to lie awake, each thinking of the other. During the night a bad man attempts to rob the guests. May hearing strange noises, creeps from her room for help. Harry does exactly the same, and in the semi-darkness they rush into each other's arms. May thinks she has bumped into the burglar. The guests are aroused by her shrieks, and attaches rush to the scene. The lights are turned up and consternation prevails as they see a man and woman in demi-toilet rush into each other's arms. When the excitement is over, Harry draws his wife into his room and the next morning more surprise is in order when the maid finds the lady's room empty and sees a pair of gentlemen's shoes and a pair of ladies' pumps outside of the room next door.
