Pt 2 of gifs from the Here Come the Brides episode “Mr. and Mrs. J Bolt”. Prospective bride Peggy (Mary Jo Deschanel) has written her uncle saying she’s married to Joshua Bolt (David Soul). She did this because, although she wanted to go to Seattle, she didn’t have his consent to make the trip. As a minor, her uncle is still her legal guardian.

Now he's coming to visit and will surely find out she lied and take her home. Unless...

Joshua and Peggy pretend to be married while he’s in town.

A weaselly, schemer of a man who already squandered her inheritance, Uncle Jebediah is all too happy to hear Peggy married into a family with a flourishing business. He attempts to squeeze his way into the Bolts’ logging operation, threatening to sue them for taking Peggy to Seattle without his consent if they don’t agree to cut him in.

Things get infinitely worse when word of the fake marriage spreads first, to Captain Clancey and, via him, Aaron Stempel.

With the prospect of losing their business and Peggy being forced back into her abusive uncle’s custody looming, Josh and Peggy elope.

In the end, they’re able to send Jebediah away, save their business (and Peggy’s freedom) without she or Josh having to get married. Not realizing they only got a marriage license but didn’t actually go through with the wedding, he leaves.

Peggy keeps the license because it’s good for a year and she might need it.

So I very rarely make icons because I’m shit with graphics, but for whatever reason I felt inspired tonight to make a bunch of barely decent icons of Ann Moses (plus Harpo Valley and Genie Franklyn in the far right bottom corner). Feel free to use on or off Tumblr if you like. 💕💫🎨
