Mrs. Nosey (1910)
Starting downtown on a shopping trip she sees that the gardener has left the hose on the lawn. She does not know that he has gone around the corner of the house so she takes it upon herself to coil the hose, which causes the hose to pull from the faucet and drench her. Pursuing her determined course, she happens upon a billposter. With her facility for getting into everything Mrs. Nosey of course is a proud member of the Ladies' Morality league, and when she sees the vivid pink tights on the lady on the poster she stops to argue the matter with the man behind the brush. He advises her to be on her way and suggests that she is jealous of the sylph-like form of the lady of the tights. Mrs. Nosey replies by pulling the poster from the wall and the bill poster gets the last word by pushing the brush into her face and advising her to stick to it. A man reading a letter next attracts her attention, though she does not even know the man. He drops the pieces and Mrs. Nosey picks them up, becoming so engrossed that she does not hear a man with a wheelbarrow coming around corner. She is caught up in the barrow and the surprised chauffeur wheels her a couple of blocks before he dumps her down a hill. But that is not her only free ride. An automobilist cannot fix his machine and climbs in to try the oil gauges. Mrs. Nosey follows and the machine starts with a suddenness that throws her against the seat. The automobile begins a mad ride that winds up against a tree. Mrs. Nosey is thrown out and the enraged chauffeur picks her up and throws her down another hill. An electric light wire next attracts her attention and she becomes so highly electrified that she dashes madly down the street, overturning a policeman and cutting all sorts of capers until the current is exhausted. Her last feat is to investigate Professor Zeno's laboratory while the professor has his back turned. The subsequent explosion does not quite kill her, but she emerges from the building temporarily cured of her inquisitiveness.
