About This Book

Two struggling young artists and journalists share a shabby garret and navigate creditors, comical misunderstandings, and romantic entanglements. A quarrelsome washerwoman, a persistent creditor, and a circle of friends and would-be benefactors become involved in schemes that include disguises, theatrical subterfuge, and forged papers devised to settle debts and arrange advantageous matches. Through mistaken identities, bold improvisations, and generous impulses, social pretenses are exposed and relationships are reshaped, leading to a lighthearted sequence of reversals and reconciliations that resolve both financial and romantic complications.
