Derek Yates is besieged with telephone calls enquiring whether his business partner, Simon Harrap, has reappeared in their London office yet. Simon has not been heard of since he left a conference in the South of France three days ago. One of the callers is Simon's housekeeper Madeline, who has taken care of his daughter Samantha, now 13, since his wife died.
One of those most anxious about Simon's absence is his mother-in-law Nell - she is furious that Simon has not reappeared in time to take Samantha to the theatre as he had promised. Simon arrives unannounced in the office that morning and explains that he could not resist an invitation from an attractive girl, Gillian, to spend a few days in France after the conference. Nell tells Simon that Samantha was bitterly disappointed to miss the promised theatre trip. Simon tries to pretend to Samantha that he was delayed in France by business, but Samantha is not surprised when she finds out that in fact he was with a girlfriend.
