The story is told on two levels: one comic and one bitter. The blustery sex farce concerns a general who fancies himself to be a toreador with the ladies, but he is disgusted with himself and the hollowness of his triumphs. Among the author's most psychologically compelling works, the New York premiere featured Ralph Richardson and Mildred Natwick. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

In the second act, the daughters reveal their affections for the secretary whom they heard had kissed another woman and fall into a jealous quarrel. Ghislaine never recovers from her stupor and continues to behave as though the secretary is her Leon. In a roucus scene between the married couple, Saint Pe confesses that she was often unfaithful to the general, and she knew all along of his unfaithfulness to her, but he's HERS! The general tries to kill her.
In the final act, Father Ambrose reveals that the secretary was, all along, the Generals abandoned son. The play ends with the general's arm around the waist of the new maid they hired.
