She takes one and asks Roberts to try to hold the other one for her. After she has gone, Bunny, a collector of bric-a-brac, sees the other vase in the window and hurries inside to buy it. The storekeeper tells Bunny the vase is partly promised to a lady and gives him her card, saying she has bought its mate. Bunny induces the storekeeper to sell the vase and orders it sent to his address. Annette returns for the other vase and is furious on discovering it has been sold. She then decides to call on the purchaser to see if the party will not sell it to her. Bunny, meanwhile, wants the mate to his vase and decides to call on the lady who purchased it. On his way, he meets Annette. Both are mutually charmed with each other and, in the same breath, state they desire to purchase the mate to his or her vase, but of course neither wants to part with the vase already in their possession. After arguing a while, both become angry and go home in sulks. The mutual attraction proves too strong, however, and Bunny calls again on Annette. Unfortunately, the subject of vases is brought up again and after a severe quarrel. Bunny goes home. Both feel remorseful and simultaneously send their vases to each other, leaving them no better off than before. Bunny at last hits on a way to settle the matter. He takes the two vases, sets them side by side and with his hand on his heart, says, "We also should be paired." Annette consents to become his mate, while both look lovingly at each other, then at the two ornaments which have proved to be veritable "Vases of Hymen."
