A Woman's Voice (1911)
Perry Wells, an artist, falls in love with Grace Allison, a young society debutante, the romance originating with the painting of a portrait of the young lady. Perry's portrait also wins the approval of Miss Allison's mother and the match is agreed to. Perry is thoroughly devoted to his prospective bride, but at certain periods of the time he is so pressed with work that it appears to the thoughtless girl that he is neglecting her. In order to save all the time possible Perry moves into his studio and works late at night, often not arriving in the mornings until a late hour. Perry employs a negro janitress to keep his studio tidy, the woman calling, as a rule, early in the morning before the artist arises. One morning while the negress is busy dusting and sweeping and Perry is still in dreamland, Miss Allison calls up on the telephone. Imagine her dismay when a woman's voice informs her that "this is Mr. Wells' studio," and at that hour of the morning! Furthermore, the voice says that Mr. Wells is not up yet. Miss Allison hangs up the receiver with a bang, thoroughly enraged, for she is confident that Perry is a contemptible deceiver. In a moment she snatches off the ring, calls a messenger boy and dispatches the ring and a curt note to the luckless artist. It is some time before Perry can fathom it out, until the negro maid confesses, when he makes her accompany him to his fiancée's house, where, happily, explanations are made and the ring is returned to Miss Allison.
