He follows her to the Martinville post office and discovers in what department she is engaged, and also finds out her name. Gerald then asked at the General Delivery window for letters which he knows cannot be waiting him, but whilst he excites the admiration of an elderly lady customer, his efforts at enchanting the lovely Suzanne meet with scant success. In fact he becomes such a nuisance that Suzanne only rids herself of him by slamming the window upon his fingers. Gerald, however, is pachydermous as an elephant, and will not accept rebuff. He goes home and calls up on the phone in order to renew his protestations of eternal affection, but is again frustrated in his amorous intentions. Yet another idea occurs to the wily one, and he mails a blank sheet of paper addressed to himself at the Martinville general delivery. Gerald's valet has been awaiting an opportunity to "put one over" on his employer, and here occurs his chance. The valet calls at the post office an hour before the impressionable Gerald and fixes up a fine "josh" with Suzanne, whereby Gerald will be made to appear even more foolish than nature made him. So when Gerald again calls for his mail, he finds Suzanne's face wreathed in smiles. She reaches for his letter, drops it, leaves her lily-white hand on the counter, which, when Gerald proceeds to stroke it fondly is quickly changed for that of a burly mail-carrier, who demands in fierce accents an explanation of Gerald's motive in placing a bunch of violets in the aforementioned burly fist. Gerald retires, disgusted, but is recalled by the smiling Suzanne, who hands him the forgotten letter. Seeing that his letter has been opened, he hopes to find a loving note therein from Suzanne. He gets, however, this message, "There is no fool like an old fool." And looking up from the reading of this proverb, he espies Suzanne and her fellow clerks derisively laughing at him through the post office window. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
