Girls Will Be Boys (1910)
On the day our story opens Mrs. Brandon has planned a little picnic for her three daughters. It is a fine autumn day and armed with shotguns and dressed in their masculine shooting togs they find a secluded spot in the woods, frequented only by the Brandon game-keeper. Now it happens that three students from a university blunder into the forbidden grounds, obtain a glimpse of the girls, but are chased away by the gamekeeper. Francois flees with the other two boys at his heels and turns up at another part of the woods, where the girls have left their luncheon. A moment later they see them returning and all hide in the brambles on the other side of the fence to await the coming of the huntresses. Wilma, Shirley and Alberta soon appear when the boys find that instead of young men hunters, they are young ladies. Young Rollins steps out from ambush, soon followed by the other two. There is almost a stampede at first when the girls find the men on the grounds, Alberta particularly annoyed as she recognizes in Rollins the young man who protected her in a street fight in the city a few days previous, when a ruffian, unaware of her sex, had picked a quarrel with her. In the scuffle which followed Alberta had lost her ring, which was picked up by Rollins. Rollins soon recognizes her and there is an embarrassing moment until the young man bravely returns the ring, thus making it apparent that he knows her. Luncheon for six soon follows, much to the discomfort of the man servant, who serves, during which Wilma slips Malcolm a note asking him and Francois to meet the girls on the Brandon porch that evening. Malcolm promises to do so, but loses the note, which is later picked up by young Rollins, who sees that he has not been included in the invitation. That night Malcolm and Francois are on the job, but get into the gymnasium instead of the conservatory. Shortly after, Mrs. Brandon, who has fallen defeated in the girls' revolt against further continuing their mannish ways, and who brings in her three handsome daughters all decked out in ribbons and lace. Mrs. Brandon sees that the boys have completely won the hearts of her daughters and pairs off two of them, selecting poor Malcolm for herself, however.
