Margaret was the magnetic center of the group. Mrs. Knickerbocker watched her fondly. There was quite a little color in the dear child's cheeks. Margaret's aunt exchanged grateful glances with Miss Morris, the nurse, and Madge Travers nodded brightly and sympathetically to Mrs. Knickerbocker. Dunbar and Travers sat by with relieved faces. "If it wouldn't tire you too much, my dear," said Mrs. Knickerbocker, addressing her niece, "won't you tell us the whole story from the very beginning?" "Why, yes, but Mrs. Travers will have to help me out." Margaret laughed, casting a teasing glance at the young millionaire. "You see, from the time he ran me down to when they brought me upstairs, I did not know a thing that was happening to me." They told everything between them. And what, such a short while before bad seemed so serious, now appeared a most amusing story. When the recital was finished, Margaret forgave Travers before them all. And Dunbar came in for hearty congratulations from everybody, though it was evident that Margaret's beaming smile of gratitude was the thanks he prized most. When Mrs. Knickerbocker and her niece were left alone, the older woman remarked that the girl's face had lost its animation. "You are tired, child. We shouldn't have kept you talking so long," she said. "Oh, no, it did me good. But perhaps I am a little weary. Someway, I feel so blue, auntie dear." Mrs. Knickerbocker drew the phone toward her and called up the doctor. When the big man came, be merely glanced over his patient keenly and said, "A hearty laugh is the best medicine." That evening Mrs. Knickerbocker motored back to town. She wrote a note and addressing it, sent her butler with it. The missive read, "Mrs. Knickerbocker asks a favor of a distinguished humorist." In a short time the car returned, and James ushered into the drawing-room Irvin S. Cobb. It was arranged that Mr. Cobb should drive out to Travers' country place with Mrs. Knickerbocker the following day. When Our Mutual Girl found herself sitting beside the famous humorist, listening to one of his funniest stories, the doleful look vanished from her features. She burst into her old, clear, rippling laugh, throwing back her pretty head in an abandonment of mirth. And from that hour to this, the improvement in her health and spirits has been simply miraculous. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
