Further details
While Betty is in hospital following an operation, Frank is left to his own devices at home. His chores include mending the back door and preparing his own meals, neither of which he manages to do successfully. When he visits Betty in the convalescent ward, Frank is accused of neglecting her in a case of mistaken identity, and is given the wrong information that Betty is able to go home. When Betty announces this to the rest of the ward, everyone feels that they should be allowed to go too.
