Young Mr. Pritchard: A Comedy In Two Scenes (1886) is a play written by Esther Brown Tiffany. The play revolves around the character of Mr. Pritchard, a young man who is about to inherit a fortune from his wealthy uncle. The play is set in two scenes, the first of which takes place in Mr. Pritchard's home, where he is visited by his uncle's lawyer, Mr. Perkins. Mr. Perkins informs Mr. Pritchard that he will inherit a large sum of money from his uncle's estate, but only on the condition that he marries a woman of his uncle's choosing.The second scene takes place in a hotel room, where Mr. Pritchard is meeting with the woman chosen by his uncle, Miss Clara Blythe. Mr. Pritchard is not interested in marrying Miss Blythe and tries to find a way out of the arrangement. However, Miss Blythe is determined to marry him and does everything in her power to convince him to change his mind.Throughout the play, there are several comedic moments as Mr. Pritchard tries to navigate his way out of the marriage arrangement while also dealing with the eccentric personalities of Mr. Perkins and Miss Blythe. In the end, Mr. Pritchard finds a way to avoid the marriage and inherit the fortune, but not without some unexpected twists and turns.Overall, Young Mr. Pritchard: A Comedy In Two Scenes (1886) is a humorous play that explores the themes of inheritance, marriage, and the lengths people will go to for money.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
