A Pair of Frauds (1914)
Young and pretty, Margery Dean, companion to Mrs. Sawyer, a wealthy lady, chances to meet Jack Drislane, a young clerk. It is raining hard; she has not an umbrella; he secures one and escorts her home. He is duly impressed when she enters a large brownstone mansion, particularly as the girl does not enlighten him as to her real social position; Later, they see each other again in passing autos and then Jack, who has been unable to forget Margery, asks permission to call, neglecting to mention, however, that he is a working man and not a wealthy idler. Margery is interested in Jack and does not wish to confess her fraud. They arrange to meet at a fashionable tea room, she pleading as her excuse for not permitting him to call, a very strict mother. Jack has to pretend he has a bad toothache, to get away from work. They meet as arranged and spend a delightful time in each other's company. She pretends to Jack that her mother wants her to marry a titled foreigner and must say farewell to him. He is heartbroken, but makes a brave pretense to her that he is sailing on the morrow aboard the "Thuric" for Paris. On the following day, she goes to see him off. She bids him goodbye and the two are so absorbed in each other that they fail to heed the warning bells and cry, "All ashore." Margery barely has time to get off the boat. Poor Jack, however, not wishing Margery to see him leave the boat, is left on the steamer without money or ticket. Fortunately by chance he is offered a position as valet, which he accepts. Two weeks later, Mrs. Sawyer sails for Paris with Margery. While in Paris Margery chances to meet Jack, They accidentally discover each other's deceptions, confess and forgive. Jack asks her to marry him and they spend their honeymoon on a steamer bound for America. It is plain to be seen that there is no deception in their happiness.
