If you cannot get the "old man" any other way, play on his sympathies. Pa said old millionaire Hicks was just his ideal of a son-in-law, but May hugged Harold all the harder. So Pa locked her up. But Harold was not to be baffled by mere parental opinion. Then Pa received notice that there was going to be a spectacular suicide at the top of the big bluff and was invited to be on hand. Believe me, he went with the whole town in tow.
