He wants to marry her at once, before his stately, aristocratic mother can interfere. But as he looks at her ...

    A story with a dainty flavor of romance in the first part of it. The artist meets the girl in the woods and love grows up between them. These opening scenes are very attractive. Both mothers object to the union and the baby and the dog aid in the final reconciliation. A pretty love story rather than a strong one, but it entertains nicely. - The Moving Picture World, February 22, 1913
