A pretty woman's tears are the greatest persuasive argument on the planet earth. A woman's tears will melt the coldest heart, and will make the heart manifest itself when there isn't any at all. They were in love, and pa frowned on the romance. When a pa frowns on a romance between a pretty, determined girl and the man "she was born to marry" there's always an interesting story. The girl knew the power of tears, because she was a girl! And she determined to cry her father into submission. Such weeping and wailing was never heard since Gomorrah went into the cemetery business. And the accompanying "gnashing of teeth" was contributed by pa. The next few days were devoted chiefly to tears. Theirs was a happy home. His stubborn will was almost drowned, when it became so used to the flood that it learned to swim. And hour after hour, day after day, the crying specialty continued. The tears and the girl had their way, and the mock sadness turned into a very genuine joy and jubilant justice.
