An Island Comedy (1911)

The story begins by showing the admiration of a young girl for a certain young man, an admiration which she confides to her chum. In a spirit of mischief the latter passes the information on to the aforesaid young man, not knowing that the girl's small brother is listening to the conversation. When the young man approaches his divinity, full of confidence, he finds a very cool reception awaiting him. But, being a young man of resource, he makes a bargain with the small boy. We next see the youngster landing his sister on one of the tiny little islands in the St. Lawrence and while her attention is directed to its beautiful scenery, he pushes off his boat and leaves her there alone. By a most singular coincidence, just then the young man lands on the other side of the island. And then to carry the joke a little further, the boy steals his boat. As the hours pass, and the young lady's hunger grows apace, she begins to wish that she could speak to the young man, especially as he carries a knapsack, which might contain luncheon, but she holds out gravely until he brings forth the luncheon right before her eyes. Then she surrenders.
