 Richard Bellamy s brother, Arthur, visits Eaton Place, while Hudson prepares for a visit from his renowned brother, Donald, his wife and daughter. Arthur proves to be a most disagreeable sort, but Richard is abundantly patient with him. Hudson spends a lot of time and money in his efforts to impress his brother, a celebrated bridge engineer. Ulitmately, both Richard and Hudson content themselves with their own sense of identity. One cannot select one s siblings, but the bond between loyal and dedicated butler and good and decent master of the house is unshakable.
