The Bachelor and the Maid (1909)
Robert Caldwell, a traveling salesman, and a bachelor, arriving at his home station, flirts with a charming young lady at the baggage window. He has the pleasure of assisting her into a cab and looking after her larger baggage, then goes to his rooms, having previously ordered his own trunk sent to his house. In this transaction he gets the baggage checks mixed and the lady's trunk, almost identical to his, is sent to his rooms while the young lady receives his. He does not find the mistake until after some difficulty the trunk is opened and a beautiful array of feminine lingerie comes to view. With a proper amount of shocked modesty he covers them up again and searches other compartments in an effort to find some clue to the owner. A photograph of the girl whom he had met at the railway station clears up the mystery and, calling an expressman, he tells him to take the trunk to the young lady's house. He accompanies the expressman and explains about the mix-up. Finally he tells her that he loves her and asks her to marry him. She agrees. The expressmen wait patiently for the other trunk, until tired of waiting one of them ventures up to the young lady's parlor. The young lady, blushing a little, explains that the other trunk will not be moved and consequently his services will not be required. With a knowing wink, the expressman withdraws, leaving the happy couple together.
