John and Jane being older than Buddy and Susie and having something per week to live on, decided to get married. Buddy and Susie got jealous. They didn't stop with hurling shoes and rice, either. When John and Jane got settled, they took it into their heads to start a couple of fictitious romances by the anonymous letter method, which convinced John that Jane had a "line-forms-on-this-side" string of other Johns, and convinced Jane that poor, fat John had spent his entire young life and patrimony in playing Don Juan to all the pretty girls of the county. This climaxed into a shooting affray and a battle royal in which John gave black eyes to four friends of Susie, who were assisting in the plot by dressing up in men's clothes and the only excuse that Buddy could offer after apologies had been made was they seemed altogether too happy.
