An edition of The Chinese (1934)

The Chinese

their history and culture

Second edition, revised

This classic ... farce is set in Oxford during Commemoration Week [for Queen Victoria]. The imminent visit of Charles Wykeham's aunt from Brazil, Donna Lucia, provides an excuse for Charles and Jack to invite their young ladies to meet her. When a telegram arrives postponing Donna Lucia's visit, they persuade their amiable [male] friend Babbs (since they must have a chaperon) to impersonate the aunt. Here the fun begins, Babbs thouroughly enjoys being kissed and caressed by the girls and receiving their confidences, but finds his ingenuity severely taxed when brought face to face with the real Donna Lucia. Moreover Donna Lucia amuses herself by concealing her identity while declaring that she knew Donna Lucia's husband most intimately. All ends, of course, most happily and hymeneally. --homepage.ntlworld.com.
