The scheme faces collapse when her friend Anne, whose marriage is tottering, arrives at the flat hotly pursued by her husband; one of Harriet’s lovers is confined to Harriet’s bed with a sprained ankle, and the second lover turns up unexpectedly; closely followed by two irate wives in search of itinerant husbands!
