Mr. Piddle Rebels (1912)
Mr. Piddle is a small man. His wife is a militant suffragist. We behold poor Piddle compelled to do the chores, feed the cat, and to prepare the meal against his wife's return. Piddle has been habituated to this submissive routine, but to-day we find him in the role of a rebel. It all happens when Piddle's old college chum, Charley Parsons, arrives. As Parsons enters Piddle slams the oven door, unconsciously closing in the kitten which had crawled in. Parsons takes in the situation of Piddle's servility, and outlines a plan of rebellion. War is declared, and the two friends prepare to concoct a nice dish, for Mrs. Piddle's dinner. Flour, salt, soap, sugar, lard, coffee-grounds, and last but not least, a piece of dish-rag. Parsons then takes leave, and Piddle awaits the coming of his wife. She does come, she sees, but does not conquer! Greatly absorbed in her thoughts, she swallows some of the vile stuff before she is aware of it. Her stomach rebels. Piddle looks on in quietness. While she performs the ejectment act, he flings defiance in her face, and also with it her pet cat, done brown in the oven.
