The Whites have rented a house which is too large for their needs, so they advertise for a congenial couple to share it with them. The Blacks answer the advertisement and each former man and wife confront each other separately and as neither one is in a position to give the other one away, they swear each other to secrecy and for mutual protection they agree to occupy the same house, though each individual is in constant dread lest his wife or her husband should discover their former relations to one another.
