Her name was Peggy and she was just a little drudge in a boarding house. Allen Bennett, a struggling young lawyer, had a room at the boarding house. Little did he know that poor Peggy had set him on a pedestal and worshiped him from afar. One morning she stopped him on his way downstairs and asked to be allowed to clean out his office. Allen refused at first, but finally consented on condition that she would do the work at night. Allen then stopped on the way to his office at the home of his sweetheart, Alice Lane. Arriving at his office he spent the time in wondering when he would get a client. A knock at the door: "Come in," he called, and was surprised to see Peggy with her mop and pail. While she was scrubbing a real client arrived, a Mrs. Stuart, who was seeking a divorce from her husband. She was quite hysterical and Allen had a hard time restoring her composure. While he was thus occupied the door opened unperceived by him and his sweetheart started to come in. Putting a false construction on his actions, she grew angry, rushed out of his office to her home and wrote a note telling him that all was over between them. That evening while Allen was dressing, Peggy brought him Alice's note. Amazed, he rushed from his room and on the stairs fell over Peggy's bucket, sustaining a concussion of the brain. He dropped the note, which was found by Peggy, and read. Peggy remembered that Mrs. Stuart had promised to call at Allen's office the next day. She was there and explained the difficulty into which Allen had come. She persuaded Mrs. Stuart to go with her to Alice's home. Alice was overcome with remorse and hurried to her lover's bedside, where a reconciliation was effected, while Peggy stood sadly outside the door realizing that Allen was not for her.
