A rich heiress pretending to be in love with her guardian, but with several other suitors. A jealous merchant from Spain with a beautiful but cloistered daughter. A Busy Body who tries to know everybody else’s business. Conniving servants. Plot elements stolen – and improved – from Moliere, Johnson, and Dryden. Definitely comedy, and written by a very successful woman playwright. – Summary by ToddHW
