While out walking one day Barton admires a parrot, but his wife refuses to allow him to purchase it. Later in the day while his wife is out, Barton sends the cook for the parrot. When she brings it home he loses his nerve, and, hiding the bird behind a screen, he goes out until the storm will have blown over, leaving a note, in which he explains that the cook knows all about the object hidden behind the screen and asking forgiveness. While he is out, the cook is asked by a neighbor to mind her baby. She agrees, but the task interferes with her work, so she places the baby in a basket behind another screen in the room with the parrot. Mrs. Barton returns home, finds the note, and, of course, looks behind the wrong screen. However, after a near tragedy, Hubby explains the situation and Mrs. Barton's doubting heart is satisfied.
