A collection of the comic vaudeville sketches that Chekhov wrote for satirical magazines and revues: a famous writer driven to desperate acts by an over zealous fan; tricks with mustard played on faithful retainers; a widow's mourning quickly overturned; the pomposity of an Inspector General deflated by a cart driver; a proposal breaking into a furious argument at every turn; and a husband never quite managing to give the speech he's been told to.
