The young lady determines to bring him to her feet. Next day she finds her opportunity, and as Alfred passes under her window she drops a ball upon him. He naturally goes inside the house to return it, and Nellie makes the most of her opportunity, taking him into the garden and ultimately rousing him to take an interest in her. When he leaves she gets out her bicycle and goes for the run in the direction in which she knows Alfred is driving, and as he appears in sight she gets off her bicycle and pretends that she is injured. Alfred assists her into his trap and drives her home, and is full of sympathy with Nellie in her imagined pain. The journey is the finishing touch, as before he lands Nellie at her residence he has fallen deeply in love with her, and at the earliest opportunity he declares his passion. But she pretends not to love him, and he goes dejectedly away, and makes preparations for leaving the neighborhood, when Nellie takes pity on him and changes his despair into joy by accepting him.
