Synopsis

This book is a one-act play written by Eugène Labiche and Marc-Michel in 1860 and premiered in Paris. The play follows the story of Carbonnel, whose wife Élsa has taken over control of the household finances after discovering his infidelity. When Carbonnel's friend Jules reminds him of a luncheon he had promised to host, he is reminded of the financial constraints imposed on him. As he ponders what to do, he receives a domino-masked invitation to lunch from a mysterious woman, who turns out to be his seamstress disguised to play a prank on him. Carbonnel is forced to invite her to lunch, leading to a series of comical situations and misunderstandings. This humorous play explores themes of marital trust, financial responsibility, and the power dynamics within relationships.
