The Professor's Romance (1911)
Professor Wilkins remembered his college chum, John Hammond, since Judge, with a deep and abiding affection, and while he highly appreciated the honor the Judge conferred in appointing him guardian of Eve Hammond, it was with dismay that the Professor learned his friend intended having Eva with him until his return from abroad. Dismay became actual panic when a young Miss of seventeen arrived with her maid, instead of the little girl of five Professor Wilkins had expected. Her appearance was the signal for an outburst of merriment on the part of his friends, Tom, Dick, Harry and the housekeeper, who had painstakingly transformed his sitting room into a child's playhouse. Eva's sweetheart, George Bedlow, had pocketed the only "grown-up" picture she had, so when the Judge ordered a photograph mailed to her guardian, Eva promptly forwarded the one taken several years before, hence, the Professor's mistake. A few weeks, however, found Professor Rudolph Wilkins not only reconciled to the addition in his household, but also altering his appearance at his ward's suggestions, and actually vying with the boys for her favor. One evening, after the Professor had presented Eva with a big bouquet, greatly to the amazement of his friends, and triumphantly marched her off to dinner, George Bedlow appeared. Gleefully the boys showed him the bouquet and card, "With love, Rudolph." Then, after working him up into a jealous rage, stole softly out to await their friend's appearance. Indeed, so effectively did they do their work that, upon Eva's return George absolutely refused to listen to an explanation until she indignantly sent for the Professor. Delightedly that gentleman hurried down, only to find the young people so busily engrossed that they did not even notice his appearance. Hurriedly the learned man retreated to his room, snatched up the half-finished letter to Judge Hammond, asking his permission to marry Eva, and tore it into shreds. Then, with one glance in the mirror, he ripped off his high collar, angry and ashamed that he should have been guilty of such folly.
