After the grandparents discover that they have been having secretly meetings for happy and harmless fun, Joan receives such a scolding that she goes over to Martin's and asks him to take her to her friend Alice Palgrave (Randolph), who lives in the city. Upon arrival at the Palgrave residence they discover Alice is not there, and Martin offers to marry Joan to resolve the situation. Pleased with the arrangement, Joan accepts, and after the ceremony they live in Martin's city residence, where he continues to respect her extreme innocence and maidenly existence.
