Funella is looking forward to a special family dinner tonight. Harvey P. Dull points out that if the family is at dinner, no one will service the front desk. She recruits him to watch it and even moves his favorite chair right by it. As the family gathers at the table, everyone but Funella are taken away to tend to the needs of the guests, each promising to return shortly. Funella herself then leaves to show Mr. Dull how to properly welcome incoming guests, giving him a feather boa to give them a "fluffy" welcome.
