| Plot Summary |
Tiny Tim is separated from his little companion, Gwennie, by Mrs. De Jones, who decides to adopt Gwennie, giving Tim half a dollar by way of compensation. Tim tries to seek forgetfulness in a confectioner's shop without success. Later he visits a café and tries to seek oblivion in unlimited supplies of ginger ale, but only succeeds in floating his sorrows. One day he returns. Gwennie finds his hat and seeing the footprints guesses that he has come back. Convinced that he is still waiting his chance to reappear, she returns to the house and fills the hat with cakes. These she then places under a bush so that Tim will see them. In her hurry, however, she has overlooked the circumstance that it is nearly tea time, and the vanishing of the cakes has already been discovered by the cook and by Gwennie's adopted mother. When these latter subsequently look for Gwennie in the garden, it is to find that she and Tim are in each other's arms. The romance then ends with Tim's adoption as Gwennie's brother.
