Description Series of titled comic genre photographs include "Mr. & Mrs. Turtledove's new French cook," "You sweet thing, when did you arrive?" "Now don't be so shy!" "Oh my, but you are lovely," "Sh! Sh! I hear my wife coming," "Heavens, what does she mean," "Well, I am caught sure enough," "She must leave this house at once," "Mr. Turtledove trying to get out of the difficulty," "Mr. Turtledove making promises to be good," "Darling, I love you more than ever," and " Mr. & Mrs. Turtledove's next "French" cook." Images depict a straying husband's relationship with the pretty French cook, his wife's discovery of the relationship, and his attempts and success at reconciling with his wife. The pretty female cook is eventually replaced by an unattractive "French" cook, represented by a man dressed as a woman.
