About This Book

Set on a farmyard during a Sunday morning, this one-act rural comedy focuses on courtship, family authority and social pretensions as a young farmhand and the household servant negotiate marriage while a city seamstress appears as a rival. The couple debate staying versus emigrating, imagine improvements to the homestead, and the son concocts a playful scheme to sway his father's opinion by feigning interest in the outsider. The domestic exchanges reveal generational tensions, class expectations and practical rural values, with humor arising from matchmaking anxieties and contrasting urban and country manners.
