The Dupe is a comedic play written by Frances Chamberlaine Sheridan. The story follows the character of Sir Toby Bumper, a wealthy and gullible man who is easily swindled by those around him. The play begins with Sir Toby being tricked into believing that he has won a large sum of money, only to later discover that he has been duped. As the story unfolds, Sir Toby continues to fall victim to various schemes and manipulations, including a fake marriage proposal and a fraudulent investment opportunity. Along the way, he is aided by a group of loyal friends who try to protect him from his own naivety. The play is filled with witty dialogue, mistaken identities, and humorous misunderstandings, making it a classic example of the comedic genre. Overall, The Dupe is a lighthearted and entertaining play that satirizes the gullibility of the wealthy and the lengths that some people will go to in order to take advantage of them.Sharp. Come, come, I know you don't dislike me at the bottom of your heart: you think me saucy, but agreeable, a devilish agreeable fellow. Ah, you little rogue! there is an arch smile of assent under that angry brow, that makes you look so enchantingly!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
