This story is about a maid who takes everything too literally, she dusts the furniture with dusting powder instead of cleaning the dust off of it. She also cuts the towels up to change them instead of putting new towels in the bathroom. At first the people she works for are angry, but when they taste the pie Amelia baked for them as a surprise, they decide to hire her and be more careful what they say.
