Hormone?

Harry Douglas from The Sensuous Senator is back to his old shenanigans again but this time as the American Ambassador to Great Britain.

He tells his wife Lois that he has arranged a golf outing in Scotland for the weekend.

Lois in turn tells Harry that she too will be gone for the weekend at a spa and that their daughter Debbie will be gone visiting a girlfriend.

Each then tells Perkins their newly hired butler in their country home of their plans.
