The Conquest of Constantia (1915)

An old maid of very prim and precise habits, Constantia Calthorpe, lives in a little semi-detached cottage with her housekeeper, Mrs. Carter and maid, Nora, also Sultan, the cat. The vacant cottage next door is taken by Grace Melleville, a young widow with her little boy, Teddy. Like most children, Teddy is boisterous, full of spirits and likes noise, all of which greatly annoys Constantia. Teddy takes a great fancy to Sultan, but can make no headway with the cat's mistress, who coldly ignores him. Several days later, Sultan is stolen by a couple of boys and Teddy follows them. Both households are soon in an uproar, and Constantia accuses Teddy of having stolen her cat. Teddy manages to rescue the cat but gets lost in the woods. He is found, becomes ill, and Constantia, on learning how he had rescued her pet, is completely won over.
