The Extension Table (1912)
Mabel Moore and Ethel Brian, two young stenographers, are engaged. Mabel marries Herbert Jenkins, her employer, a wealthy man, and Ethel marries John Hayward, a young law clerk. Herbert and Mabel support a very pretentious establishment, while Ethel and John are located in a modest but comfortable little flat. Herbert is so absorbed in the making of money, and becomes so wealthy and socially popular, that Mabel finds herself very much neglected, and their love for each other grows colder and colder. Ethel and John, happy in their mutual interests, blessed with a family, find life one sweet dream. They are not burdened with money, but blessed with a wealth of children, until they have five little ones about their table. John works harder and more willingly, until he is received into the firm as a partner. Mabel becomes more and more estranged from her husband. She calls to see Ethel and becomes one of her family as a boarder. While she is stopping with John and Ethel, a child is born to her. John invites Herbert to call at his home, not letting him know what has happened, or that Mabel is stopping at their home. Mrs. Hayward remains out of sight. Herbert is very much pleased with John's children, and takes an especial fancy to one bright little fellow, six weeks old. Mabel enters the room. Herbert is surprised to learn that the baby is their own, and Herbert and Mabel are reunited by the stronger union of fatherhood and motherhood.
