Harry, a lazy, good-looking chap, is the idol of his mother’s heart. She pets and pampers him until his father is disgusted. Harry works in his dad’s office, that is to say, he spends a few hours there every day. When the girls are all wild about Harry and when a crowd of them arrive for tea, they insist that mother call up the office and have Harry sent home. Father is furious, but obeying the habit of years, he sends the boy home to be adored and fussed over by the ladies. Then, one day, Isabel comes to pay them a visit. She is full of life and energy and Harry’s languid ways amuse her. When he tries to flirt with her she chases him upstairs for her gloves and puts him very properly in his place. Finding her a great novelty, as she refuses to adore him, he falls in love with her and proposes, realizing she can make something out of the indolent boy she accepts him, providing that he earn a living for them both and remain no longer dependent upon his father. Harry promises and they are married. Then all is very different. Harry rises at seven and prepares the breakfast coffee for Isabel. After breakfast he goes to the office in the cars, for taxis are now a thing unknown. At the office he works as hard as any other clerk to please his father and to please Isabel. He cooks the meals and does all the work. His mother moans a bit over her boy’s fate, but is forced to see the improvement in him. After a talk with father, Isabel hires a maid. Then for the first time she attends a little to her husband’s comfort. For she knows he has learned his lesson and that things will all run smoothly.
