Mary Goes First is a comedic play in three acts and an epilogue written by Henry Arthur Jones and first published in 1915. The play revolves around the lives of two couples, the Vicar and his wife, and their daughter Mary and her fianc�����, Arthur. The story takes place in a small English village and explores themes of love, marriage, and social class.The play begins with Mary and Arthur announcing their engagement to her parents. However, the Vicar and his wife disapprove of Arthur, who they believe is not suitable for their daughter due to his lower social status. The couple's disapproval leads to a series of comedic misunderstandings and miscommunications as Mary and Arthur try to prove their love to her parents.As the play progresses, the Vicar and his wife's relationship also comes under strain as they struggle to reconcile their differing views on marriage and social class. The arrival of a wealthy and influential neighbor further complicates matters and leads to a hilarious series of events that ultimately bring the couples closer together.The play culminates in an epilogue that sees the couples happily married and the Vicar and his wife reconciled. Mary Goes First is a witty and entertaining play that explores the complexities of love and social class in a small English village.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
