Her brother and sister, Jack and Betty, are surprised to hear Rhoda, their poor homely cousin tell of her romantic courtship with Al. They tease her for saying such foolish things. All of this joking causes Rhoda to feel hurt, because she had not really known A1, although she wished she had. Al arrives at the Addison home to find a bunch of self-centered children. They tell him of Rhoda's story about him. Al pretends that he had known Rhoda and decides to take Rhoda , instead of Darthea, to the Prom. All of this confuses Mrs. Addison, although she realizes that the child- ren were not polite to Rhoda. Darthea is escorted to the prom by William Fairley, a fine upstanding young man.
