Flo, the sixteen-year-old child of a widow, was sent to boarding school. An old friend of the widow's renewed his courtship, and almost succeeded in winning her. The widow received a letter from the hoarding school, stating that unless Flo was more tractable, she would he suspended. Her mother took Flo into her confidence, and said that unless she behaved herself she would get married again. This did not please Flo at all, as she did not wish her mother to get married again, so she hurried home. Concurrently with the arrival of Flo, John's nephew arrived. John thought that he is the right kind of a man for Flo, and his nephew thought that Flo is the right kind of a girl for him. So, after due deliberation, Flo and her mother consented to the men's proposals, and they were married.
