Bedelia and the Newlyweds (1912)
Anna and Jim, a newly married couple, engage Bedelia to cook for them in their new home. She promises to arrive bright and early, and they get everything ready for her. But she does not put in an appearance until late. When she does arrive she insists upon being shown to her room and given time to change her gown. Returning to the kitchen she refuses to do any work except bossing, and she makes Anna and Jim wait upon her. She gives Anna a dish of onions to peel and this makes the pretty little bride cry. When they do not work quickly enough to suit her she covers them with flour and dough, and chases them out of the kitchen. They change their clothes and sit down in the dining room expecting a nice meal. But Bedelia's sweetheart, the policeman, has called and she forgets all about her cooking. She entertains him lavishly to the best in the house, while the newlyweds are almost fainting with hunger in the next room. Finally she remembers them and loading an immense tray with food she starts to the dining room. She is greeted with great joy, but as she crosses the threshold she catches her foot in the carpet and the whole dinner is flung at the feet of the hungry pair. Jim grabs his hat and taking his wife by the arm goes off to have their first dinner at a restaurant.
