A comedic play written in the early 1890s. The story takes place in a waiting room at a train depot in Boston and primarily revolves around the misunderstandings and misadventures of various characters. The likely topic of the book focuses on social interactions, relationships, and the humor found in everyday situations as the characters navigate their personal dilemmas. The narrative centers on Mr. Edward Roberts, who is left in charge of meeting a new cook, engaged by his wife, Agnes. Unbeknownst to him, he has never seen the cook before, leading to a series of humorous misunderstandings when he mistakenly approaches the wrong woman in the depot. As Mr. Roberts interacts with his friend Willis Campbell and the irate husband of the woman he mistakenly addresses, the tension and absurdity build. The chaotic exchanges showcase how simple tasks can snowball into more complex situations filled with comedy, ultimately leading to the arrival of the cook and a resolution amidst the humorous chaos.
