He takes two old male servants and goes to a house in the country where he can finish his book in absolute quiet. Waling about the place he congratulates himself on his Eve-less Eden. As he comments on the total peace, a wild discordant cry interrupts his reverie. He goes through the garden, finds a baby there, and carries it home. Finally driven to his wits' end, he runs across to the next house, where he finds a pretty girl and begs her to come with him. She assents and soon has baby sleeping in her arms, then declares she must go. She places baby on a couch, gives John a few instructions and leaves him. A few days pass. John finds himself attached to the child, whom he later adopts. The girl next door sees John with his baby and is much amused. He tells her with great dignity that the child is now his, and he has decided to make quite a writer of him and call him William Shakespeare Brown. The girl laughs and tells him that he can't very well do that as the baby is a girl. John decides to relinquish baby entirely. He cannot have a girl in his home. The girl tells John she will take the child until further arrangements are made. But John misses the kiddy and soon has an excuse for coming very often to the porch next door, and soon John and Violet discover that they make an ideal papa and mama for baby, and they are married.
