On Approval

Simon and Samantha arrive home from a summer holiday to find that their housekeeper has got married and moved away. But she has left some help - her sister Isobel. Simon decides to give her a trial period. She does not make a good impression as she is shy and quiet. When she tries to liven up, she only suceeds in smashing crockery.She overhears them talking about the fact that they are not impressed by her. She then decides to impress them with her tidying and fried cooking. But this only seems to make Simon more angry with her. He decides she must be sacked and return to Scotland. Samantha learns that Isobel is dreading to go back to Scotland and tries to persuade Simon to let her stay. When Isobel learns that she was to be sacked, she becomes distressed. Simon then offers her a further month's trial as long as she takes cooking lessons and stops tidying up.
