O'Hara, Squatter and Philosopher (1912)

Tom O'Grady is in love with Aileen Sullivan. Old Sullivan objects not to the match, but he dislikes O'Grady and is always quarreling with him. Tim is excitable; O'Grady morose. Benevolent old Irish philosopher Denis O'Hara is always trying to make peace. One unlucky day, O'Grady's goat eats up some of Tim's cherished flowers; there is an awful row and Tim forbids Aileen to ever see Tom again. Tom and Aileen go to Denis for advice and he tells them a scheme to set things right. Tom tells his father that if he cannot have Aileen, he will go West. Aileen hears the news and feigns illness. Tim and O'Grady become alarmed and go to consult Denis O'Hara. He speaks to them severely and tells them they will bring down the wrath of heaven on them if they separate their children for their own foolish ends. He reduces them both to tears. They shake hands and he at once takes them over to Sullivan's cottage and Aileen is told the good news. Tom turns up, bringing a peace offering of some new flowers to Tim, and O'Hara with a smile sees his schemes succeed and everybody happy.
