Guy Bracebury. Things go on after this fashion for some time, until Dr. Meredith, the Graham's family physician, hears of all this. It is Amy's birthday and she promises Bracebury that if her husband forgets the day she will elope with him. The morning of her birthday Graham leaves word with the maid that he will not be able to return until after midnight. Amy determines to keep her word to Bracebury. She asks Dr. Meredith for an appointment that evening before the train leaves, as she wishes to see him once more before she leaves. Bracebury also makes an appointment to see the doctor before leaving. Amy comes, very nervous, but will not listen to the advice of the kind doctor. Before Bracebury arrives the doctor turns the hands of the clock back and detains him so long that he misses the train. The doctor also has succeeded in getting in touch with Graham, and the latter goes to the train with the present for his wife, for he really has not forgotten about the birthday. Of course, it ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
