His Trysting Place 1914 1080p BluRay x264-OFT

Clarence in the bosom of his family is absent-minded and restless. He tips over the boiling soup upon himself, carries the baby "old cat" fashion by the scruff of his little rompers, falls into the infant's cradle and commits numerous other breaks so that Mabel, his pretty wife, is distracted. At last he decides to go downtown, announcing that on his return he will bring a present for little Peter. Stopping at a drug store he purchases the latest innovation in nursing bottles and then goes into a cafe where dinner is served for a quarter. Meanwhile Ambrose takes leave of his adoring wife to go on one of his periodical strolls. He has an appointment with Clarice, the pretty telephone girl in the hall of his apartment house, to meet her in the park, and as he passes, she hands him a note stating the hour and precise location of the trysting place. This he slips into his pocket with an affectionate wink, and takes his way to the twenty-five cent eating place to kill time before the rendezvous. Here he and Clarence accost one another side by side at the counter, and Ambrose's table manners and musical manner of eating soup cause Clarence to protest. A quarrel ensues, in which soup and broken dishes fly, and then the two belligerents escape, in their hurry exchanging overcoats. Clarence rushes home to tell his troubles to Mabel, and Ambrose, meeting his wife on a park bench, unbosoms to her his grievances and is consoled. Mabel, wondering what Clarence has brought little Peter, explores the coat her husband has left on the rack and discovers the telephone girl's note to Ambrose. She bursts into the room where Clarence is innocently disporting himself with the baby, and treats him to a terrible trouncing. Then she thrusts him from the house. And five minutes later, babe in arms, she gives pursuit. Clarence, in a dazed state, wanders into the park, where he comes upon Mrs. Ambrose sitting alone on the bench where Ambrose in his duplicity has charged her to remain until his return, he having gone to keep the appointment with his lady love. Clarence at first does not strike Mrs. Ambrose favorably, but at last he manages to win her sympathy, and when Mabel comes upon them he is unburdening the tale of his marital woes to her. Of course she leaps to the conclusion that this is the "Clarice" who wrote the note, and she savagely attacks the innocent pair. Left alone, Mrs. Ambrose amuses herself with searching the pockets of the overcoat her husband has dropped on the bench, and brings to light the nursing bottle. Her deductions are not to Ambrose's credit. Mabel meanwhile in order to have both hands free to beat up Clarence, thrusts the baby into the arms of Ambrose who chances to be strolling that way. and he hurries back in consternation to his wife, who instantly faints at the first glimpse of the infant. Mabel produces Clarice's note and Clarence is more flabbergasted than ever. Then he examines his overcoat and discovers the exchange. Explanations are forthcoming, and Mabel is overjoyed to find that he is not the guilty wretch she thought him. Then, as a subtle revenge, Clarence takes the note to Mrs. Ambrose, saying, "Here is something belonging to your husband." While Mabel and Clarence are happily making up, the real masher in the plot suffers a terrific walloping from the enraged Mrs. Ambrose.
