A short comic play centers on a snobbish young woman who frets when her father decides to invite a rural cousin to visit. With the help of a close friend she composes a deliberately discouraging letter to prevent the arrival, but the scheme produces a cascade of misunderstandings, social maneuvering, and embarrassed encounters. Presented in brisk scenes and light comic situations, the piece pokes fun at youthful pretensions and class-consciousness, concluding with reconciliations that stress sincerity over affectation.
