They are good friends and admire each other, but both have come to the age when they're afraid of themselves. Mr. Bolter's young niece Pet comes to spend a few days with him and makes things lively for her uncle, who is unused to children. He introduces her to Lavinia, who takes quite a notion to her. Talking to Lavinia through the garden fence between the two houses, Pet becomes fascinated with Lavinia's false curls and finally pulls one of them off. When Bolter scolds, she howls and he must capitulate. The next morning when Bolter complains of the lack of a button on his trousers, she, seeing Lavinia sewing in her garden, catches up the trousers and rushes off and into the garden and requests her to sew the button for her poor uncle, who has no one to look after him. Finally, she makes herself ill with eating green apples and in his distress he sends for Lavinia to help. Her kindness and tenderness to the child break down the barrier of his reserve and he proposes to her to make his lonely life a heyday of sunshine and happiness. Lavinia agrees by falling into Bolter's arms. Pet, whom they suppose to be asleep, sits up and says, "Oh, I saw you. Goody. goody. goody!" Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
