Justine a ses huit jours (1908) Online
Mrs. So-and-so having given her maid a week's notice, the latter is so furious that she plays all sorts of pranks on her master and mistress. When they take off the lid of the soup tureen they find rats in it, the joint disappears under a heap of pepper, then they are horrified by several live rats, which they find under the bedspread: and their faces become quite black with the ink that Mary has put in the wash basin when they want to have a wash; and when they go to the kitchen they find the crockery in bits all over the floor. Mary laughs outright, for she has had her revenge.
