In Peaceful Hollow (1913)
Mr. Boggs, broker, is run down. He needs absolute rest and quiet. He reads an advertisement in the paper. It announces that fresh air, peace and quietness can he obtained at the farm of Si Holcomb, Squashville. It sounds good. Mr. Boogs does not wait to write. He wires he is coming. He comes. Mac, the hired man, meets him. He is in love with Lois and their two temperaments giggle as one. Boggs is expected to room with Mac. He prepares to go at once. Holcomb sees his money going too and gives him his daughter's room. Boggs settles down to read, and Mac gets a sudden desire for exercise. He flies his saw and talks to Lois and Mac has a nasal drawl. Boggs is furious and seeks a more restful spot. He finds it at the haystack. Mac is pulled off his job and sent to feed the stock. He is angry and jabs his pitchfork into the hay and also into Boggs's anatomy. Boggs moves painfully on. Mac has answered an ad which promises first aid to those desiring to propose. He receives the book telling him how. Chapter 17 advises securing a guitar and playing something soulful outside the proposee's window. Mac waits until night and not having a guitar, compromises with a full-blooded concertina. Boggs wakes and swears and Mac, having played all the tunes he knows over twice, goes to bed. A dog howls and Boggs loses a perfectly good shoe. Finally he can stand it no more and cautiously he packs his grip, recovers the missing shoe, steals out, and in the course of time he reaches the station and arrives home in time to snatch a few hours' sleep to the tune of the busy city traffic's "peaceful" roar.All Releases
