Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Counterfeit Presentment Comedy
Bartlett: Yes, hot confoundedly. He rubs his handkerchief vigorously across his forehead, and then looks down at his dusty shoes, with ap parently no mind to molest them in their dustiness. The idea of people going back to town in this, weather! However, I 'm glad they 're such asses; it gives me free scope here. Every time I don't hear some young woman banging on that piano, I fall into transports of joy.
Cummings, smiling: And after to-day you won't be bothered even with me.
Bartlett: Oh, I shall rather miss you, you know. I like somebody to contradict.
