Trying to Keep Bedelia (1912)
Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed have had a hard time with their servant, so when they managed to keep Bedelia, they decided not to let her go under any circumstances. Bedelia realizes how valuable she is and in many ways puts their patience to the test. When her master and mistress give a party upstairs, Bedelia feeling rather lonesome in the kitchen goes up and insists that she he made one of the guests. When they refuse to permit this, she immediately says that she is going to leave. Upon hearing this they drag her back into the drawing room, and she is soon enjoying the party with the rest of the guests. Upon another occasion she accompanies Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed to the opera. She brings her friend the policeman into the house and insists that he be received as a guest by Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed. Mr. Newlywed goes to a customer and hires the outfit of a Hindoo Fortune Teller. In this garb he calls upon Bedelia and he offers to cast her future. Reading her palm, he foretells great misery for her if she leaves her present employ, and so dwells upon this that superstitious Bedelia vows never to leave the Newlywads through any fault of her own. The next time Bedelia meek and mild waits upon her employers, and has nothing to say about leaving.
