Scene: A Public Park
Time: A Summer Evening

Mind Picture: A young Cockney takes his sweetheart for a walk in the park, and tries to make things pleasant, but the girl is in a contrary mood. After many vain attempts to humour her, he elicits the fact that her aunt has handed her a postcard which she found. It is addressed to him, requesting him "to meet Kitty, who has grown such a beauty."
This has aroused the jealous suspicion of the girl. Explanations follow. Kitty is a cat, which is being sent up from the country for her! There is a happy reconciliation, and they go off arm in arm to have an ice-cream.
