The Hobby-Horse: A Comedy In Three Acts is a play written by Arthur Wing Pinero. The play revolves around a group of middle-class English people who are involved in a love triangle. The main character, Cyril, is a young man who is in love with his cousin, Agatha. However, Agatha is engaged to another man, Reginald. Cyril, desperate to win Agatha's love, decides to impersonate a Frenchman named Monsieur Beaucaire. He hopes that this new persona will make him more attractive to Agatha. However, his plan backfires when Reginald becomes jealous of Monsieur Beaucaire and Agatha is confused by Cyril's sudden change in personality. The play is full of witty dialogue and humorous situations, and explores themes of love, identity, and societal expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
