So his father sent him to visit his uncle, explaining in a letter that Harvey was meek and modest and very unsophisticated. With his carpet-bag containing his few belongings, Harvey started on his journey, reaching the house of his uncle when a party was in progress in honor of the visit of Dorothy Deane, a friend of his cousin, May. Now Percy, his cousin, liked Dorothy, but she was not a silly girl and just had a good time while visiting her friend. Upon reaching the house, Harvey did not wait to be admitted, but pranced into the room where all the guests were assembled. His uncle was overcome to see him walk deliberately into the room and was rather cool when he greeted him. May and her brother, Claude, were also a little cool, but Dorothy was kind and very cordial in her greeting. This appealed to Harvey and he immediately classed her as his friend. The Hamiltons planned to play tricks on Harvey. First they tried him at poker, but much to their surprise the boy from Missouri had played it before, and Claude and his father were glad to make an excuse to get away when all the chips were piled up in front of Harvey. Next they planned to get him drunk, but Claude fell under the influence and Harvey had to bring him home. His folks were furious with Harvey for getting Claude in such a condition. Dorothy had many a laugh at Claude and she admired Harvey more and more. At last Harvey got up his nerve and made love to her just as Claude was coming in the door. Claude reprimanded Harvey for stealing his girl, but Harvey promptly put him out of the door, and took Dorothy along with him into the hall and to the minister's where, after the ceremony was over, the Hamiltons found them, but too late.
