PLOT OF PLAY
During the absence of the Dragons,
BuntE0rne, dyspeptic poet, has ar
rived in the village, and posing as an
exemplaT of true art anu high aesthet-
icism, has converted all the girls to
his views, made them forget their old
loves, and filled them with a mad
hopeless love for himself. He. while
secretly pleased with their admiration,
pretends to despise them, especially
Jane who is particularly offensive to
him because of her age, her plainness
and her continual annoying attention.
Jane however, despite Tebuffs, con-
times to follow him. The soldiers
returning are highly angered, and
protest loudly against the folly of the
maldens but to no avail. They still
continue to follow Bunthorne pro-
claiming their love aud devotion, tho
in the meantime Bunthorne himself
has fallen deeply in love with Patti
enee, the village milkmaid. Patience.
at first frightened by his wild man
ners, is at length convinced that she
must love him, because love is a duty.
and so resolves that she must perform
this duty, however disagreeable. The
.
Bunth0rne, resolve to rattle him off
but just as the rattle is about to take
place, Patience PUSHES in, feeling that
she must perform her duty by loving
Bunthorne, and stops the rattle much
to the indignation of both the ladies
and the soldiers. The ladies'. feeling
that they no longer have any chance
to win Bunth0Tne. return to their old
loves. the dragons, and are inst in
the midst of an affecting reconciIia-
ton scene. when a stranger, Grosyen-
or, appears, and proclaims himself an
aesthetic poet, an apostle of simpliei-
ty. The girls Immediately desert the
soldiers, forget Bunthorne, and rush
to worship at the shrine of the new
poet. GrosvenoT, who has been the
youthful companion of Patience. the
village milkmaid, and who still loves
her passionately, is ANNOYED at their
attentions and tries in every wa TO
escape them. He endeavOrs in every
way TO win the love of Patience. bat
Patience, although loving him, feels
that love to be perfect must be unself-
lsh, and that Il would be selfish to love
Grosvenor, who is perfection itself.
