Comedy.




Johnson, a lexicographer, arrives at his library to find that the place is in shambles. Papers are everywhere and completely out of order. Bunyans, his collaborator, arrives to help him put the place back together, sorting through various pages of the dictionary being worked on. As they search for the source of the ransacked library, they conclude that it must have been vandalism done by Brenda, Johnson’s wife, since she was scorned for her lack of talent as a lexicographer. When they discover that Brenda has actually been buried underneath all of the papers, they continue to search for the source. They hear a sudden crash of breaking glass and discover a second broken pane in the cricket window. As they discover the cricketer opening his French window, a snowstorm picks up causing the papers to blow everywhere yet again.
