Mr. Sniffkins' Widow (1914)
It is proper to speak no ill of the dead, but the general sentiment of the men of the village was that the Widow Sniffkins carried it a little too far. In the first place, the late Sniffkins has been absent from this vale of sorrow for something over five years. Secondly, the widow was still young and vivacious. However that may be, the widow's only response to the impassioned declarations of the swains who sought her in marriage was in the form of a panegyric upon the merits of the late Sniffkins. Hiram Brown was particularly vexed by this tendency on the part of the widow. What made it all the worse was that the widow's attitude caused a number of the other marriageable ladies about town to look askance on their would-be beaux. The arrival of Miss Betty Darrow, the new schoolteacher, put an entirely new face on things. Singly and collectively, the men with one accord threw themselves at her feet. Hiram Brown was particularly attentive. Just when things seemed darkest, relief arrived in the shape of Betty's fiancé. With thankful sighs of relief, the ladies hastened back to their fickle beaux. With a sigh of relief, the widow cast herself on the ample chest of Hiram Brown. Hiram, thrilled with the sense of his advantage, sternly commanded that a hideous chromo of the late Sniffkins should be removed from the parlor, and the chastened widow obeyed. Then they were married.
