Talked to Death (1909)

While an old maid is dressing she is talking so rapidly that the looking glass breaks. Leaving the house she meets the grocer and talks to him until he drops dead. Passing on she meets two lady friends, who vainly try to get in a word. The old maid talks and talks them to death. A messenger boy is the next victim. She talks him to death just in front of a doctor's house. The doctor comes running out of the house, the old maid explains what happened, the doctor drops dead. Next a nurse is coming out of the house and she, too, is talked to death. A policeman who wants to investigate is also a victim of the old maid's rapid-fire gun. The old maid passes on and meets a friend, another old maid equally as strong in speech as her friend. They talk and talk until both drop down dead.
