Storyline
| Plot Summary |
On marrying the boss's daughter, Richard takes his father-in-law's advice to hire a live-in domestic. He soon finds good help is hard to come by. Run-ins follow with dipsomaniacs, bank robbers, a Welsh lass who takes one look at London and runs, and an Italian charmer who turns the place into a bawdy house. Then when Ingrid arrives from Sweden things actually start to get complicated. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26} |

McGuffey:
[describing the new baptismal font in church]
The water is thermostatically controlled. Never goes below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Mrs. Kate Barry: I agree with the principle. Never lay a nice warm baby on a cold marble slab. [chokes on his drink] See more » |
