Her parents finally discover the love affair, and in order to cure her of her infatuation, send her to her aunt's home in the country. Arriving at the farm, Essie soon plays havoc with the hearts of all the men folks, who sadly neglect their various duties, in order to dance attendance upon her. Things come to such a pass, that Essie's aunt, who discovers Harry prowling about the farm, manages to corral him and then begs him to elope with Essie. She even furnishes him with a ladder and points out Essie's window. After the young couple have disappeared, the aunt writes Essie's parents that she did all she could to prevent the elopement, but that after all, it is probably the best thing that could have happened for the good of all concerned.
