Valley Folks (1910)
"No, once and for all, no!" angrily declared Joe Benem. His daughter Sue might refuse Jack Blake, as indeed she had done a few moments before, but she should never marry Ned Wright. Sue, however, with grandmother and grandfather on her side, had decided differently. That very afternoon they were to slip away to the little church, after which the old people had promised to meet them with Sue's clothes and give the bride and groom their parting blessing. Two years had passed, to Ned and Sue, two very short and happy years, with only one cloud to mar their horizon. Joe Benem still remained obstinate! Nevertheless, dear old grandmother still held out hope and, since the birth of little Ned, had been constantly planning how to inveigle her son to their cottage. Then, when one day a letter arrived from Sue, stating that Ned had been taken ill with a fever and imploring her grandmother to come at once, the old felt confident that she might induce the girl's father to accompany her. In this she was doomed to disappointment, for not only did he refuse to go to his daughter, but likewise forbade the old people making the trip in his rig. Nothing daunted, however, the couple set out on foot, arriving to find Sue unconscious beside the body of her husband. Hurrying the old man off for help, grandmother finally succeeded in reviving the young widow. Then, after Ned had been laid to rest, with kind-hearted Jack Blake's aid, Sue, with her baby and grandmother, were driven op to the old home. Quietly they alighted and stole into the house. Joe Benem was seated in his accustomed armchair, torn with the desire to rush to his daughter's aid, yet angry at himself for wishing to yield. Softly Sue opened the door and crept to her father's chair, so that he awoke from his reverie to look into little Ned's wondering baby eyes and find his daughter kneeling at his side. With a glad cry, Joe Benem gathered them to his breast, mentally vowing that there should be no more unhappiness in their lives if he could help it.
