Dear Queenie,
When a certain relative comes to visit us he stays in our guest bedroom and wants us to rearrange the furniture so the bed faces in a certain direction (I think it’s a religious thing). We do what he wants, but it’s a lot of work, and when he leaves we have to put everything back the way it was before, which is just as much more work.
Queenie, do we have to do this every time?—Fed-up hostess
Dear Hostess,
As a good hostess you should try to please your guest if possible.
However, as a good guest, he should put the furniture back the way you want it before he leaves.
