Olive Is Dismissed (1914)
Vance Coleman fully makes up his mind to marry Olive, and while Madame Forresti is dining with her spiritual advisor, the Bishop, Vance tells her of his resolve. The Madame and His Lordship caution Vance against marrying so wild and ungovernable a creature. Olive overhears them and on the impulse of the moment decides to leave, as she is a source of trouble and is anxious to earn her own living. Frivolous society lady Mrs. March sees Olive wandering along with her monkey and violin, and thinking the gypsy would be a novelty for a social entertainment, offers Olive a home in her establishment. Mr. March, an elderly man, is a lover of books and the fireside. His tastes are so divergent from those of his wife that quarrels are the frequent result. Olive soon feels how a separation will be the issue of this discordance. Freddie Carrington, a silly society idol, imagines Mrs. March unhappy and makes love to her, which she gradually permits, and they finally agree to elope. To balk this scheme. Olive, at the moment that suits her purpose, snuggles up into Mr. March's arms, with the excuse that a mote is in her eyes. The old man unconsciously tries to help her. Mrs. March appears in the doorway, and sees this seeming-compromising position. With rage, she seizes Olive by the collar, literally throws her out of the house and then returns to her husband to whom she begins to administer the little attentions that Olive had taught her. Olive window appears at the grinning, gladdened of having brought the silly wife back to her husband's arms.
