This girl's uncle and aunt, not knowing of her failing, invite her to visit them and from the moment of her arrival at the railroad station are pestered with her continual harping on the same thing. Finally, after throwing salt over her shoulder into the butler's eyes and doing various other seemingly outrageous things, she perpetrates the mirror-smashing act, which not only leaves the house almost mirrorless, but ends in her being shipped home by the next train.
