- Perhaps it was because the prim little lawyer hated children that he became involved in an extraordinary series of mishaps. He was on his way to court, annoying no one, when a woman suddenly rushed up to him, thrust her baby into his arms, and told him to mind it until she could capture her dog. Then she vanished. The lawyer did not know much about children, and the unusual occurrence startled him so much that he was unable to say anything in time to head the woman off. Later he found to his sorrow that it was much easier to take care of children than to get rid of them. Everyone to whom he applied for help gruffly rebuffed him. He was an object of mirth on the streets and in the court, where he finally went because of an important engagement; he was both pitied and scorned. Even the orphan asylums refused to take the child, but in the course of time the mother returned and claimed her offspring. She was not one bit grateful, in fact, she dubbed the poor old lawyer "a miserable kidnapper." Then she went out, and the lawyer was so much interested in noting that she had departed that he forgot to note that she had left her dog behind her. Well, to cut a long story short, the lawyer got rid of the dog, and he never saw the baby or its mother again.—Moving Picture World synopsis
