Excerpt from It Ain't My Fault: A Comedy in One Act Jimmie Blake, a reporter from The Inquirer tries to get an interview at the DeKalb School with Elise Morton, daughter of a Wall Street celebrity, who has apparently disappeared. Jimmie is at a loss as to how to meet Miss Morton; he speaks to Noah, who is on his way to meet the new pupil, Nettie Smith, but is too late as usual. Nettie arrives accompanied by her fiance, Tom, who convinces her that she will be happier as his wife than in school. Jimmie overhears their discussion and also discovers that Nettie's bag and his are similar, and he exchanges them. Tom's description of his bungalow finally wins Nettie and she agrees to elope; they immediately go for the marriage license. Later Jimmie appears-wearing Nettie's garments and posing as the new pupil, thus gaining an interview with Elise, who tells him where her father is. General mix-up when Nettie and Tom return and discover the mistake made in the bags. Jimmie then appears in his own clothes and straightens out matters. To win Elise's friendship he destroys his report to The Inquirer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
