He had three square meals a day and spent the remainder of the time spooning pretty Sue. Sue was quite willing to be spooned, though there was another chap who wanted to marry her and Sam had a fine time. But Pa Sprague, Sue's father, had forgotten long ago the time when he himself was young, and he had no sympathy with spooners. He told Sue she could not see Sam except in the house where Pa and Ma could keep an eye on them, and dutiful daughter sent word to Sam. But Sam spooned just the same. That was too much for Pa, and he went after the minister. Sam made a record-breaking sprint for the door and didn't stop running until he saw a young married couple admiring their first baby that made him think he might like to get married, and he went back after Sue. Meanwhile, the other fellow had come along and she had decided that she would rather marry a man who didn't spoon so much but meant it more. The minister was still there and the knot was tied before Sam poked his face through the doorway and announced that after all he thought he would be married if it wasn't too much trouble to the minister. Pa Sprague told him what he thought of him and Sue added an appendix. Then Pa Sprague took a malicious delight in putting Sam out of the house, so Sam went and spooned somewhere else. Written by
