Aunt Cockle does not altogether approve, for she has suffragette leanings and does not believe in spooning. The deacon calls and he and Mrs. Cockle talk about the suffragettes and Billy is sent about his business for objecting to Ada wearing a pretty sash with "Suffragette" on it. Mrs. Cockle, noting the presence of the famous Mrs. Spankhurst in an adjoining town, writes inviting her to call and meet the Suffragettes in town. She gives the letter to Ada to post. Ada meets Billy and tells him the import of the letter and Billy gets an idea and purloins the letter. Billy accepts the invitation in the name of Mrs. Spankhurst, and in due time Billy, dressed in the most approved Suffragette style, arrives by train and is met by the deacon, Mrs. Cockle and Ada. Things happen quickly and alarmingly. The Suffragette person has a good stiff drink and smokes a cigarette and flirts with the deacon, and finally stating she is tired, locks herself in Mrs. Cockle's room for forty winks. Mrs. Cockle is at her wits' end and begs Billy, by letter, to come and put her out. Billy, who has escaped by the window, issues terms. He will do it if Aunt Cockle agrees to his immediate marriage with Ada. Mrs. Cockle capitulates and Billy arrives. He goes into the room where the supposed Suffragette is resting. After much noise Billy announces to the family that the Spankhurst person has departed. He gets Ada. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
