Smiths Bold Petition to Old Thompson Ends in Escape
Smith tries to win Thompson’s permission to wed by delivering a rambling, drunken plea about five years of pursuing a commercial venture and lonely days. After repeated bungled speeches, Thompson ejects him. Smith recovers, grabs his possessions, and yells a final plea before Thompson chases him off. Smith later marries the girl.
