Consuming Love; or, St. Valentine's Day in Greenaway Land (1911)
Tommy and Jimmy are very much in love with Dolly, but their appetites by far overbalance their affections. Dolly favors Joe, who is not overblessed with with this world's wealth but is bountifully blessed with chivalry. Tommy and Jimmy decide to get her a valentine. They purchase a gingerbread horse, but before they get to her house their appetites get the best of them and they greedily devour the token of their youthful affections. Joe bargains with the shopkeeper for a stick of candy, to be paid for by running errands after school. He hurries to Dolly's home and presents his valentine to her, just as Tommy and Jimmy have given her the remains of the gingerbread horse. She rejects their gift and accepts Joe's, and triumphantly he walks away with the fair Dolly, leaving Tommy and Jimmy disgruntled and rebuked for their greed and selfishness.
