He stays with his relatives and mistakes their innocent attentions for designs upon his peace of mind, not understanding the Eastern veneer of civilization. He gets into trouble with the butler; he sees a cabman abusing a horse and unwisely interferes; he rescues a girl in distress; and he just keeps doing things that the average Easterner regards as unnecessary. There is a family conspiracy to get him to marry his cousin, who loves another; Steve has also conceived other ideas. The family cook is a comfortable, good-natured girl with whom Steve in his blunt, homely way strikes up a flirtation, then a friendship. She makes excellent pies, and Steve likes pies and their maker so much that he decides to marry her. In his good-heartedness he makes a handsome present to the man in love with his cousin, whom Steve critically regards as a clotheshorse. This story proves that, after all. the heart is the predisposing factor in marriage, even among men of Cousin Steve's primitive type, who are supposed to fall for more externals.
