About This Book

A short domestic comedy set mainly in a household kitchen follows an ensemble of servants and household members as flirtations, jealousies, gossip and petty ambitions produce a sequence of misunderstandings and comic confrontations. Scenes rely on brisk entrances, interruptions and everyday tasks — coffee, mending, errands — to generate farcical timing and satirical observation of social manners. The action emphasizes contrasts between desire and decorum, the negotiation of personal claims within limited domestic space, and the humorous consequences of pride, rivalry and sudden revelations.
