Title: Pawns of a house =
Description: "In this hilarious seventeenth-century cloak-and-sword comedy, eight characters become entangled in a web of deceitful and sincere promises when they find themselves thrown together in the house of Don Pedro de Arellano. As they struggle to fulfill or escape these commitments, the action involves female rivalry, love triangles, and confusion of identities. All the characters scurry about the house, some manipulating others like pawns on a game board. In the end, the passive characters regain the initiative and make way for the comic solution of multiple marriages."--BOOK JACKET.
