Marriage in Haste (1910)
The course of true love never did run smooth, but the chart of the love affairs of Arthur and Jean suggested a corkscrew with the cramps, for not only did father object but he objected with an emphasis that resulted in Jean being locked in her room while Arthur was forbidden the house. But Jean was a chip of the old block and she had all of her father's temper and determination and her woman's wit besides. There were two keys to the door of her boudoir and as soon as father went away she opened the door with the second and dispatched the maid with a note to Arthur, promising to elope with him the following morning. She kept the appointment and sent a note to her father by a little girl who chanced by. The child delivered the note and father excelled all previous exhibitions of rage when he read the brief lines. Warning the Chief of Police of the elopement and asking that the rural constables be requested to hold the elopers, father took the little girl as guide and set out in his own car in pursuit. That warning was a boomerang for father, for the Mayor of Cragg Crossing got one of the messages and proceeded to hold up all cars from the city on general principles. Father, with the little girl still his companion, was one of the catches and the extreme youth of the child convinced the rural populace that hanging was about seven degrees too good for father. They got a rope around father's neck and prepared to launch him into eternity. Jean and Arthur arrived in time to explain matters, but father was so angry with the inhabitants of Cragg Crossing that he had no time to be angry with Jean and his new son-in-law.
