A Darling Confusion (1910)
Mr. and Mrs. Jones, a young married couple, have just left breakfast. Mr. Jones seats himself at the desk in the library, quickly takes up a pen, and is about to write, when Mrs. Jones returns and asks him to have a look at her new hat. He is indifferent, looks about and nods his approval, then continues with his writing. Mrs. Jones, impatient at his indifference, crosses over to see what he is so absorbed in, and receives a shock when she reads the following: "Dear Darling: Meet me in the reception room of Marten's Café at 12 o'clock and, while at luncheon, we will talk over our little affairs. George." Mrs. Jones is shocked, but does not let her husband know that she had read the note. When he leaves she flies into a rage, which is interrupted when she receives a note from her brother Tom and oddly coincidental, asking her to meet him at the reception room at Marten's at 12 o'clock. At the appointed time the enraged little Mrs. Jones is seated in the swell reception room of the café named in the notes. A moment later a prettily dressed woman, apparently agitated over something, enters, glances at the clock and compares it with her watch. Mrs. Jones quickly assumes that this is "Darling," and without a word of warning flies at her, grabbing her by the hair and endeavoring frantically to pummel her. The scene is interrupted by the entrance of a hotel servant, who separates them. The servant is followed by Tom, Mrs. Jones' brother, to whom she explains that "this creature" had made an appointment with her husband. Tom endeavors to console her, when Jones enters and mistaking the situation, pounces on Tom and his supposed flirtatious wife. Another fight is about to start, when Darling enters and separates them. For "Darling" is a business gentleman with whom Jones is trying to make a deal. Things are explained, and the frightened victim of the attack receives from Mrs. Jones the latter's abject and tearful apologies.
