How he met and loved her; how his father refused to consent to their marriage, and her plan to win his reluctant approval. She remembers how she went to the farm, with the bogus plea of being ill and needing country air. She recalls all the wiles and guiles she exerted in her effort to win his good graces. And now they laugh, she remembers, it is amusing now that they have children of their own, though it was a mighty serious thing then, how his father fell in love with her himself, and proposed! She asked him to give her a little time, and she came to the city and told her sweetheart all about it. They visited a minister, and the son no longer feared his father's rivalry. Then they boldly returned to the farm, and told her other lover all about it. It was a serious surprise to the father, but it was even more humorous, so he took his sweetheart daughter-in-law to his heart. They remember it all, and their minds are busy with the happy recollections when their children rush in upon them. There is a bashful boy with their daughter, and the story that started fifty years ago is continued in the romance of the newer lovers. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
