Summary:
Since the failure of his small business, Victor has become a household tyrant, constantly complaining and criticising his long-suffering family. The saintly forbearance of his wife Ida seems only to drive Victor to ever more vindictive acts of tyannay. Finally Victor's old nanny, watching his behaviour with increasing fury, takes drastic action.
