The Fable of the Home Treatment and the Sure Cure (1915) Online
Once there was a leading citizen with a daughter named Bernice, who was some offspring. One day Bernice found something out in the sunshine and put it on the rug for father to look at. He called himself Kenneth. Father said he wouldn't stand for any puss willow being grafted on the family tree. Then they planned to give her an overdose of Kenneth. After dinner the turtle doves were given unlimited opportunity for cooing. When Kenneth began appearing for breakfast he ceased to be a romantic figure. On the third day he was just the same to Bernice as the steering wheel. The next day Kenneth had no more chance than a rabbit. While they were still groggy father induced the amateur comic to pull one of his convulsing anecdotes. That was the last straw. Bernice locked up her hope box and was open for other engagements. Moral: Don't get acquainted too soon.
