It wasn’t Archie’s fault really. Its true he went to America and fell
in love with Lucille, the daughter of a millionaire hotel proprietor
and if he did marry her—well, what else was there to do?
From his point of view, the whole thing was a thoroughly good egg; but
Mr. Brewster, his father-in-law, thought differently, Archie had
neither money nor occupation, which was distasteful in the eyes of the
industrious Mr. Brewster; but the real bar was the fact that he had
once adversely criticised one of his hotels.
Archie does his best to heal the breach; but, being something of an
ass, genus priceless, he finds it almost beyond his powers to placate
“the man-eating fish” whom Providence has given him as a father-in-law
