He decides to marry after having found an excellent young woman, whom he believes would be the proper person to care for his loved ones. He sends Bob and Nell to his mother's, the children tell her that their father is going to marry again. Their grandmother is very much disturbed and tells them that stepmothers are not the most desirable kind of parents, and the children make up their minds there and then that they will never go home to their papa and new mama. The father arranges with his wife for her to act as governess to his children, not letting them know that she is their stepmother. The children return home when they hear that their father and his wife have gone away and left them in charge of a governess. The stepmother as their governess makes every effort to win the children's love, and she succeeds by making herself sweet and lovely to them and soon has them completely won over. When the father sees that the children have given their little hearts to his wife, he is delighted and introduces Bob and Nell to their new mother, whom they so dearly love. His wife says, "Yes, I have won their love, but how about their father's?" He tenderly embraces her and tells her that he loves her, and their happiness is complete.
