About This Book

A comic domestic play that follows a young woman from the countryside who arrives in the city and waits anxiously for a returning suitor. The action contrasts plain rural habits with strict urban etiquette as relatives, servants, and social invitations create pressure and comic friction. When news of the suitor's arrival reaches the household, secretive schemes and a feigned illness are used to avoid a formal reception and arrange a private meeting. The scenes blend romantic longing with satirical sketches of social manners and everyday misunderstandings.
