A servant is discovered by her mistress saying good-bye to a soldier in the hall, and her husband kicks the intruder out. His wife, turning sharply on the girl, gives her immediate notice. An angry scene follows between mistress and maid, finally ending by the lady paying the servant off and turning her into the street, telling her to call for her box later. Without a servant the two decide for the present to do their own cleaning, etc., and husband and wife, putting on aprons, start at once dusting out the rooms. Their efforts are somewhat clumsy, and breakage after breakage takes place before they have half finished their work. They next go out to fetch in a few articles for dinner. The purchasing is successfully carried out by the good lady, but her poor husband, who has to carry everything, becomes over-burdened and tired before he reaches home. A number of the goods are entirely lost owing to the careless way they are carried, and as soon as the pair reach home they gladly drop them on the floor. Taking off his coat, the man sets about cleaning boots while his wife prepares luncheon. The poor wretch half smothers himself in blacking, and wiping his face despairingly, leaves black finger marks all round his brows. The meal nearly ready, he is ordered to get up the beer. Going down the cellar, he does incalculable damage in the dark, but finally he draws the drink successfully. In the dining room the tired pair sit down to their meal, which proves not a very happy one. The poor man, after tasting two or three dishes, abandons the food altogether, and his wife weeps at her failures. They both go to answer a knock at the street door, and on seeing their late servant with two men on the step ready to take her box, they seize her and drag her inside. The wife embraces the servant and implores her to come back at her own price, while her husband clears the men out. The joyful man, as soon as his wife has secured the girl, takes his turn at welcoming her, kissing her vigorously.
