About This Book

A series of comic episodes contrasts two physically similar but temperamentally opposite men — a solemn judge and a lively commercial traveler — whose mistaken identities and social misreadings produce humorous situations. The narrative moves through hotel lobbies, sales rounds, and courting scenes, including a traveler's awkward pursuit of a candy-shop young woman, and satirizes manners, class pretensions, and the gap between appearance and character. Chapters present light farce, character-driven anecdotes, and playful observations on commerce, romance, and urban social life.
