A Boarding School Romance (1910)
Disregarding the rules of the seminary, the hero of our story penetrates the sacred precinct of the campus to meet his student sweetheart. While they are engaged in innocent courtship the old maid principal indignantly drives the young man from the place and sends the young girl indoors. She seeks her schoolmates, tells them with tears in her eyes of the enforcement of the school discipline and the principal's interference with her love affairs. The girls sympathize with her and all declare they will get even with their preceptress. The longed-for opportunity occurs when the prim and precise principal meets the Latin teacher at an arbor in the garden, where they are discovered by the young girl who was reprimanded. The principal and the teacher have quite a séance of "old-fool love," all of which is seen by their too keen observer, who also hears them make a date for that same evening at 9 o'clock. The young heroine rushes back to her companions to tell them all about it, and they at once map out a plan to take in the evening's performance and get one on the heads of the school. At the appointed hour the two old spooners meet. Arm in arm they go lovingly through the wooded paths, he gazing up like a "Campbell-Soup Kid" into the eyes of the kittenish old flirt whose "goo-goo" manner is quite coy and natural. They thing themselves alone, only one world and two people in it, "ouzy and me." Their ignorance is bliss, and they are unaware of being followed by the whole school, who are greatly pleased and entertained by this antiquated burlesque on Romeo and Juliet. They arrive at a snug little bench, where together they seat themselves in a sweet "tete-a-tete" and fond embrace, when suddenly there is a dash and the snap of a camera, followed by a wild scamper from behind the bushes, while consternation seizes the two affectionate teachers, who do not know the cause of the excitement. The girls hurry back to their rooms and get busy developing the tell-tale snapshot of the professor and his inamorata. The young man whom we saw in the first scene is at the school again to see his sweetheart. The principal sees them talking together and orders the young man from the grounds. He stands immovable, and the principal calls the Latin professor to her assistance. He commands the young chap to be off, but is met with a direct refusal to make himself scarce; then he shows the professor the snapshot of himself making love to the "professoress." The professor is amazed, then sheepishly shows it to his little "Daffy-down-Dilly," who wilts. The professor of "amo, ami, amat" suggests a compromise by an exchange of the photograph for the privilege of a meeting between the two young sweethearts. The bargain closed, the couples are soon lost in sweet reveries of future happiness and inspiring twangs of Cupid's darts.
