Lady Doctor's Husband (1907)
A gentleman stops on the street to pet a parrot and is bitten on the finger. A female doctor administers to the injured digit. She is so pretty and captivating that the man submits willingly to the treatment, and finds himself in love with her. When she is finished she accepts his thanks in a businesslike way and walks ahead, but he follows her and discovers where she lives. Later, with his bandaged finger, he is ringing her door bell and he is ushered into the torture chamber. Here the pretty doctor again administers to him, but while she does so he persists in telling her about another ailment troubling him. Before she can realize it he has proposed, and he is so handsome and dashing that she accepts him. The next scene breaches the courtship and she is seen in a bride's veil, he the groom. As he is alone with her, her maid enters and tells her of waiting patients. She leaves him abruptly and goes to attend to her business. He does not exactly like the idea but must submit. Now is shown how his young wife has not time enough to love him. Whenever he begins to bother her for attention she turns upon him severely and he can say naught. He sees her occupied with sick people, dabbling with wounds, etc., as if he does not exist. At dinner she eats quickly, denies him his wine and leaves him without any kiss. He sees a man enter her office and he suspects. Watching through the keyhole, he witnesses how she places her hands on his person, but does not understand that it is only in a professional capacity, and in a fit of jealous rage he bursts into the room. She promptly ejects him, however, and proceeds with her patient. In the last scene she is at study and he is bothering her for some evidence of attention. Again and again she puts him off, and finally seats him in a chair and places in his lap a basket full of socks for darning. She puts a needle in his hand and orders him to darn and then resumes her studies. A close range view shows him diligently at work plying the needle.
