He loves Millie Reed, but when he asks the consent of her father, he is told to go and make good. Millie is told of the ultimatum and seeks solace in tears. Earley and Mattie overhear the conversation and decide to take matters into their own hands. They feign illness and do it so cleverly that they deceive the other members of the family and a hurry call is sent for a physician. Dr. Dunn is the nearest and he comes. They tell him their plan and he is delighted. He attends to them and pronounces it a case of poisoning. Each of the other members, including the stern and unrelenting father of Millie, imagine they are ill and he has for patients all the members of the household. The doctor takes pleasure in administering some vile decoctions to the father and the patients speedily recover. Dr. Dunn is about to take leave of his patients when Barley, addressing the father, suggests that a doctor would be a valuable acquisition to the family and they all concur in her opinion, even to Mr. Reed, who has curtly dismissed Dr. Dunn as a suitor for the hand of his daughter.
