The Larkins

There is excitement at the approaching May Day Fair, but Mariette drops a bombshell, and the tax man comes calling.

With their wit, charm, and a little bit of cunning, the Larkins woo Charley the tax man. Mariette agrees to put her plans on hold and stay for the summer.

Ma is worried that Pop is working too hard and books a weekend in Margate, leaving Charley and Mariette to mind the kids. Margate, however, threatens to be a letdown.

Determined to stay in the running for Mariette’s hand, Charley decides to resign from the tax office. Pop learns the train station will be shuttered and tries to save it.

Ma cleans like a demon ahead of the arrival of her countryside-hating sister, Bertha. Things aren’t going very well between Mariette and Charley, so Tom makes his move.

The Larkins dash to the railway station to stall Mariette's departure to France. They convince her to stay for a donkey derby/gymkhana and cocktail party in a few days.
