Summary

Alan Crosland,  The Flapper (1920)

“ My Own Woman:-
You dreadfully
wicked boarding school
Miss! How lonely I am
without you. If you
could only arrange to
see me more often
"You have no idea who the man is?"
"I will kill every suspect!"
"You knew you old Daddy would forgive you."
"But it's all a joke, Daddy—"
"Aren't things bad enough without lying?"

“ Gingers chauffeur sometimes delivered groceries to the school in this limousine.
"You ought to be arrested—luring a sixteen-year-old girl out at night!"
"My fan!"
"That's what you get for being nice to a kid of that sap-headed, pin-feathered age."
So Ginger decides to end it all and teach him a terrible lesson.
"Everything stealable is stolen."
"We must keep it quiet or the school will be disgraced."
"I will settle all the losses."
If life offered so many adventures, why die?
In a New York hotel.——
To fugitives, every stranger looks like a bloodhound.

“ It wasn't a darn bit romantic to Bill E. Forbes. He never had handled a horse before."
"Did you notice a gentleman driving away in a sleigh?"
"No, but I saw a kid chasing one."
"At present I am a guest at Miss Paddles' school."
"I pass there every day—nice lot of youngsters."
"We're nothing of the kind. They force us to act like silly youngsters, but——"
"—can you imagine a woman of my age having to wear a Peter Thompson?"
