The Lost Kitten (1912)

Dick Eaton is in love with Lillian Girton. One cold evening while on his way to the Girton house he comes across a half-starved kitten, which he picks up and places in his overcoat pocket. Upon arriving at the Girton house he declines the services of the butler and hangs his coat in a secluded corner of the hall. In the library he joins the assemblage. When wine is served he politely declines to drink and calls for a glass of milk instead. At the first opportunity he slips out into the hall with his glass of milk and feeds the famished kitten. The kitten, left alone, emerges from the coat pocket and after a sprawling leap finds its way to the glass of milk on the floor. After satisfying her ravenous appetite, she proceeds to attract the attention of some departing guests. Dick Eaton is now obliged to tell how he rescued the kitten. The story is met with more or less ridicule, but Miss Girton sees much to admire in a young man possessed of such a kind heart and when alone with her he is agreeably surprised to learn that his deep love for her is reciprocated.
