Claiming that his son has died while away, Lord Gravello makes it appear that his daughter is now "the Heir to all [his] vast Revenues, and pester'd with more Suitors than the Grecian Queen, in the long Absence of her Lord. You'll have the Dons, Lords and Dukes swarm about your House like Bees." But the scheming does not go as planned in this comedy by one of the most successful female playwrights.
