Jerry's New Year

The holidays are busy for cab drivers, who work long hours during these times. They have many customers and often must wait outside parties for hours, no matter the weather. One night, Jerry Barker is told to pick up customers at 11 p.m., but they make him wait out in the cold and sleet for more than two hours. They never apologize for being so late and grumble about paying for Jerry's time. The next day, Jerry develops bronchitis and cannot work. He gets worse and is near death but recovers, according to the doctor, in large part because he has abstained from alcohol. Harry Barker cares for the horses, and Governor Grant drives Hotspur, sharing the money he earns with Jerry's family.
Polly exchanges letters with her former mistress, Mrs. Fowler, who offers Jerry a job as coachman when he is well, and Jerry's family can live on her estate. It is wonderful news for the family but bad news for Beauty. Hotspur is easily sold to Governor Grant, but Beauty worries about his future. Polly, Dolly Barker, and Harry Barker are saddened to say goodbye to Beauty, and Beauty never again sees Jerry.
