Their First Quarrel (1915)
At breakfast Mr. Newlywed receives a letter from an old friend inviting him and his wife to the station to meet his party, while they are waiting for the Limited. That is all right, but when Mrs. Newlywed notices a sentence in the note reading: "The beautiful Miss Darling, you remember her, is with us," jealousy almost chokes her. She asks her husband who "that person" is and both are soon in the midst of their first quarrel. What wonderful eye-openers these first quarrels sometimes are, and what amazing tempers the fair young bride and her loving, gentle husband, display. After the tornado of emotion has blown itself out, Mrs. Newlywed bursts out crying, calls her husband a brute, and announces her intention of going home to mother. She thinks that will bring him to terms, but to her utter surprise, he angrily avows his intention of helping her pack up right away; she can go as soon as she likes. He gets a railroad ticket for her, and insists she leave on the noon train, whereat another flow of tears follows. Mr. Newlywed, at the office, begins to feel sorry when the reaction sets in, and buying some flowers, he goes home to make up. Mrs. Newlywed, in the interim, has also decided she has been very foolish, but intends to retain her dignity, nevertheless. As her husband enters, she haughtily closes the trunk and pretends to be just starting for her mother's. He is very humble, admits he has been a brute and offers the flowers as a peace offering. But instead of coming into his waiting arms, she goes into another tantrum, which angers him so he throws the flowers on the floor and storms out. She lets him get as far as the study, then calls, and he turns to see her caressing his flowers. Apparently confused, she runs upstairs, and there Mr. Newlywed takes her, laughingly protesting, in his arms. They kiss and their first quarrel ends as all newlyweds' quarrels do, in better understanding of each other, and love.
