Telephonic romance unfolds across Circleville wires

Mr. Dickson relies on the operator to relay news about his children and the aunt Mary who might come to help, while a budding affection blooms between Margaret and the family. The scene culminates with a surprise visit from Dickson’s son and a plan to invite Aunt Mary, changing the household’s course.
