Poor Sir Harvey ...See moreOff they go over field and dale, the fox in the lead, the hounds on the scent, and up in the front ranks, first over the hedges riding like the men in the party, comes Lady Mary, the daughter of the Earl of Dreadwood. Poor Sir Harvey proposes to her almost daily, but despite his excellent social position and vast estate, Lady Mary gives him but scant encouragement. Lady Mary has been reading modern novels and tells Sir Harvey that what she wants is a man who will not fawn at her feet but will command her in cave-man fashion. Saddened by her persistent refusals of his offer of marriage. Sir Harvey goes to an island near his estate, where he camps out with his dogs, trying to forget his troubles. Meanwhile an aged old usurer has proposed to Lady Mary. He likes her untamed ways and threatens to oust the Earl of Dreadwood if that gentleman will not consent to his marriage to the Earl's daughter. The Earl, hard pressed for money, unwillingly gives his consent to the marriage. He has not reckoned with his daughter, Lady Mary, however. When the old usurer proposes to her, Mary throws a hot cup of tea in his haggard face and flees from her father's estate to the island where Sir Harvey is camping out in solitary gloom. Sir Harvey sees her coming across the sands and determines to play cave man, now that he has the opportunity. Accordingly he seizes her roughly, much to Lady Mary's surprise, forces her to wash his linen, to cook and to clean out his dugout in the hillside. Then he compels her to wash his dogs and to split wood. At the end of her hard day's work he seizes her by the hair and, in true cave-man fashion, throws her in a corner of the cave and goes to sleep himself in the opposite corner. Lady Mary, who has been petted and spoiled all her life, rather likes the treatment. Just for a change, however, she hopes that Sir Harvey will wake up in the morning more kindly disposed than he had been the day before. Meanwhile the old Earl is in a towering rage. He discovers from the butler that Lady Mary has gone to the island and he comes upon them just at break of day. He is about to murder Sir Harvey in his wrath until Lady Mary interposes and displays a wedding ring, her mother's, which she had brought to the island. Mollified, the Earl consents to an immediate marriage, and that night in the castle hall Sir Harvey signs the papers which frees the Dreadwood estates of debt. Lady Mary's proud spirit has been quite conquered by her experience on the island and she is quite willing to obey, thereafter, her "lord and master."
