The Surprises of a Flirtation

A man, his wife, and their two sons are having a meal. One of the sons leaves the room, pretending to be ill, and collects a bunch of flowers from a cupboard before going out. The other son takes a bunch of flowers from under his bed and also leaves, followed by their father, who is also carrying flowers. The two sons and their father visit the same young woman one after the other; as each arrives, the previous suitor is hidden in a piece of furniture: the father under a chair cover, one son in a cupboard, and the other in a piano. A girlfriend of the young woman visits, and the two women play pranks on the hiding men by playing the piano and sitting on the chair cover. The three men emerge, and the father chases his two sons outside until they remind him of his own folly; he gives his sons some money and urges them to keep silent.
