Apply Mrs. William Lawrence, 34 University St." This "ad" is answered by an elderly woman, Mrs. Gray, who finds a young lady, Mrs. Daisy Lawrence. Mrs. Gray inquires as to the baby's parentage, as Daisy looks very young to be its mother. Daisy introduces Billy Lawrence, her husband, and volunteers the following explanation as to why she wants a woman to care for baby. Daisy says her mother (Mrs. Brooks) wanted her to marry a young man (Tobias Smith), who owned the adjoining farm, and who seemed to Daisy to prefer the village belle, Vera Lawton. Before the marriage, Mrs. Brooks thinks it is best for Daisy to complete a university course and sends her to the city. After arriving at school, Daisy is neglected by the other girls on account of her lack of style and country-made clothes. Being left to herself a great deal, Daisy studies the girls very closely, and when alone imitates them. On one of these occasions Billy Lawrence is hidden in the tree above her. His loud laugh attracts her attention, and the acquaintance thus started, soon ripens into love, and the young couple are married. Now, Daisy explains to the elderly woman, that as her school term is finished and she must go home, she wants someone to take charge of her baby, until she can explain everything to her mother. Billy, her husband, is to go on ahead, secure work on her mother's farm, if possible, and gradually win her friendship. Everything is settled and Billy leaves for the farm. Meantime, the mother, wishing her daughter to have company on the journey, sends Tobias Smith to the city for Daisy. Tobias, being of an inquisitive turn of mind, inquires at the registrar's office of the university as to the progress made by Daisy while in the university. The registrar, learning Tobias is a messenger from Daisy's mother, gives him a report card. On looking at this, Tobias finds Daisy has been absent from school for three months. Tobias keeps his knowledge of this a secret from Daisy. On their arrival at the farm, Tobias no longer has eyes for anyone but Daisy. Vera, angered at this, flies into a great rage. Tobias proposes to Daisy, watched from nearby places by Billy. Daisy's husband, who is working on the farm, and Vera. Daisy refuses Tobias. Indignant, he says he will make Daisy explain why she is absent from school for three months and shows her the report card. Tobias calls Daisy's mother. Daisy tells her mother she is married and introduces Billy. Daisy's mother, indignant, orders Daisy to leave home. Daisy sends a country boy to the village, telling him to get a baby from Mrs. Gray at the hotel and bring it to her. On the arrival of the baby, it is placed in grandma's arms. Grandma says, "I can't send my baby's baby away," and the young couple kneel, one on each side of the mother. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
