Louise, the daughter, attempts to impersonate the Hague Tribunal, with the only result that the mother's verbal artillery is directed upon her. A few days later the father leaves the home and a note for Louise, in which he says that he can no longer tolerate the tongue lashings of the virulent virago. The pastor of the vicarage tries to initiate peace into the turbulent household, but his efforts are nil. It is to the pastor that the father writes after several months, imparting to him his simultaneous longing to see his daughter and his fear to return home. The parson writes him to come to his home and volunteers shelter and protection. The invitation is accepted. Upon Mr. Stubbs' arrival at the rectory, the parson sends a note to Louise, an innocent little note with a guilty innuendo: "If you want to see the one you love, meet him in my garden at eight." He dispatches the message with a village youth, who upon his way to deliver it meets a group of village gossips, to whom he announces the grave import of his mission. The gossips feel it their duty to read the note, and horror-stricken, set about to give the shocking incident some publicity. At eight that night the entire population of the village lies concealed behind whatever furnishes protection from vision. They see a man dressed in the parson's clothes come into the garden and embrace Louise. They see him hold her in his arms, and they can restrain themselves no longer. First to denounce the erring two is Mrs. Stubbs, but then they see the real parson come down the steps into the garden, and they recognize the other Hiram.
