剧情简介: Margaret went to Newport. An old, old dream of hers had at last come true. And yet, she was not altogether prepared for the magnificence of Newport society, the palatial houses and the brilliant functions which she attended. She was even a trifle overawed by it all, for the first day or two she found herself in such a whirl of gaiety, meeting so many charming women and bantering with so many delightful young men, that she forgot everything but her joyous surroundings. During a tea at Malbone House, however, she wandered by herself for the first time since her arrival in the City of Pleasure, and her thoughts were of Baby Lily. It seemed to Margaret that never in the world could she give up that darling mite, least of all to Mrs. Rogers. The same evening she received a letter from that lady demanding photographs of the child. Photographs! Why it had never occurred to Margaret to have any taken. She made up her mind to go right back to New York in the morning and have a dozen poses made at once. But it was Captain Welles of the Navy who was destined to alter the best laid plans of Our Mutual Girl. He called her on the phone and insisted that she postpone her trip next day to attend the sailors' drill. He put it so charmingly that Margaret could not refuse, and the following afternoon found her on the beautiful parade ground, a stretch of velvety turf, sloping, unbroken, to the ocean's edge, watching the apprentices of the Navy go through a landing drill, bayonet exercises and battle formations. Margaret was in ecstasies, and Captain Welles presented to her Senator Beekman of Rhode Island and many of the younger officers. The next morning brought a telegram from Mrs. Rogers, saying that she had made up her mind to adopt the child without more delay. She asked Margaret to go to New York for Baby Lily, and said that, as Mrs. Knickerbocker was out of town, she would send her own car to meet Our Mutual Girl who might use the machine while in the city. So Margaret went down to town and was driven by Mrs. Roger's chauffeur to Aunt Sally's cottage. And then an astounding thing happened. The chauffeur, at first glance, recognized in the tiny foundling his own child. He seized her from Margaret's arms and would have made off with her in the car, had the motor engine not refused to work. As it was, he leaped into another machine standing across the street. Margaret tried to crank the motor of Mrs. Roger's car. A bystander coming to her aid, the next instant she was in hot pursuit of the chauffeur. A mad chase followed, up one street and down another, sometimes zig-zagging wildly, and tearing around the corners. But at last Our Mutual Girl cornered the kidnapper, and a policeman came running to her rescue. Then, as though the rescue of Baby Lily were not enough, it transpired that Margaret had tracked down a famous jail-bird. Half believing the man's claim to the child, she was more resolved than ever to keep the baby tor her own.
