It wasn’t Archie’s fault really. Its true he went to America andfell in love with Lucille, the daughter of a millionaire hotel proprietor andif he did marry her—well, what else was there to do?
From his point of view, the whole thing was a thoroughly good egg; but Mr.Brewster, his father-in-law, thought differently, Archie had neither money noroccupation, which was distasteful in the eyes of the industrious Mr. Brewster;but the real bar was the fact that he had once adversely criticised one of hishotels.
Archie does his best to heal the breach; but, being something of an ass, genuspriceless, he finds it almost beyond his powers to placate “theman-eating fish” whom Providence has given him as a father-in-law
