Peabody, a rich and handsome young bachelor who does not care for the society of women, is greatly annoyed by the attentions of a Mrs. John Hall Proudfit, who seems determined to make a match between Peabody and her pretty daughter Alice, much against the protests of the girl. The bachelor is so pestered with letters, telegrams, etc., that in desperation he flees to the country for a week's rest. Arriving at the inn, he is horrified to find the verandas and hammocks filled with girls, and he turns the hack back to the station. On the way Deacon Johnson hails the driver for a few words and, being introduced, learns of Peabody's predicament. The Deacon invites the bachelor to his home and assures him of peace and quiet. Bess, the Deacon's daughter, is a tomboy. Having an aversion for men, she proceeds to make Peabody's visit so unhappy that he resolves to get away pretty quickly. Then he begins to realize that he will miss the little girl's pranks. The next morning, as he is strolling through the grounds to take a farewell look at the place, he comes upon Bess standing by the gate weeping. Their eyes meet and they realize that they are really in love. Breathing tender words into each other's ears, they are surprised by the Deacon, who flies into a rage. It has always been his wish that Bess shall marry a clergyman and he orders Peabody from the premises. Love, however, finds a way. Peabody disguises himself as a minister and, presenting himself at the house, he is cordially welcomed by the Deacon. Bess is quickly run up against the supposed minister and her father insists that she shall marry at once to circumvent Peabody. Bess rebels and Peabody remonstrates, but the Deacon insists and a young minister, a friend of Peabody, is sent for. The knot is tied and Peabody throws off his disguise and papa is won over with his little girl's kisses. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
