Publisher description
Excerpt from How to Tame Your Mother-in-Law: A Farce in One Act Whiffles is then brought in deplorably drunk, and realizing that his condition is not commend faut, conceals himself in the preserve closet just as his mother-in-law re-enters ready to shake the dust of the premises from her feet. But in the act of departure, she is met by Spangle, now got up as a policeman, charged with a breach of the revenue laws, and directed to retire to her room while he fetches a cab in which to convey her to prison. While pretending to call the cab, the policeman is met by the irate Mr. Hunx, in anxious search of Spangle and his money. The "policeman" now tells Hunx that the absconding debtor is at that very moment in the next room, disguised as a woman in order to effect his escape, and advises Hunx to collar his victim at once, promising to be at hand in case of need Immediately on Mrs. Incubus reappearance, she is seized by Hunx, but rescued by Mrs. Whiffles, who comes in opportunely. In the course of the uproar, Whiffles, smeared with preserves, emerges from his place of concealment, declares his independence of petticoat government, and asserts his domestic authority. Spangle then comes forward and is instantly recognized by Hunx, but silences the latter by referring to his conduct at a ball on the previous night. Mrs. Incubus is now thoroughly subdued, and Spangle, though he declines to enter into any explanations, offers to set forth in a practical manner, as frequently as required, the whole art of "How to Tame Your Mother-in-Law."
