Dorothy Ames, who is staying with Mrs. Preston, happens to read this letter and is very much put out over its contents, as she is a lover of riding astride and indulging in other masculine sports. Everybody in the household greets him with the exception of Dorothy, who being dressed in riding togs, tries to conceal herself behind a pair of curtains. She is seen by the lord, who immediately expresses his dislike for this style of female. She then arrays herself as a Quaker girl, and by her coquettish ways, manages to have him propose to her. His quick eye catches some of her friends laughing at him, and thinking that he is being cajoled, decides to pay her back. At a reception given by Mrs. Preston in honor of Lord Dunbar. Dorothy is present, dressed in full ball gown. Dunbar ignores her entirely, and devotes his time in flirting desperately with other girls, much to the disfavor of Dorothy. Dunbar sees her out riding one day, and ordering a horse, follows her. At last he overtakes her, and together they stroll into a conservatory, where he asks her for a flower she is wearing, and renews his declaration of love. After an amusing time Dorothy surrenders her heart to him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
