Apron strings

This is most inconvenient for me, you know. I was due to be in the Bahamas for this month,

but I realise you have nowhere else to go. And I suppose I do owe my sister a favour.

But I have to tell you, I am a maid down at the moment, so I don't want you to think you're going to be here idling around.

You can pull your weight while you're here, young lady.

And as soon as you've got yourself changed, I think you'll find a pile of dirty dishes in the kitchen you can be getting on with.
