That Blessed Baby (1911)
After Baby Lovering and its doting parents have departed from the quiet Simpson boarding house out in the country, a lonesome feeling pervades the hearts of the old spinsters, Margaret and Elizabeth Simpson. As the baby is the cause of their lonesomeness, they decide to adopt a child and fill that aching void. Margaret stays behind to take care of the house and Elizabeth goes to the Orphan Asylum, where she soon gathers a lusty babe to her bosom. On the train, while about to return to the farmhouse, she sees the Loverings in the train just coming in. Desirous to exchange a few words with them, she places the baby in the reluctant arms of a minister and rushes out. The minister, believing it a case of desertion, rushes to catch the woman, who, thinking the good man a kidnapper, frantically seeks to regain the child. Chases and count-chases follow, but neither the woman nor the man seem able to connect. An element of mistaken identity creeps in and the minister finds himself in the thickest of trouble. He's mighty glad when matters straighten out at last. As for that blessed baby; it is safe and happy in the home of its two mothers, the old Simpson sisters.
