Box and Cox

""Box and Cox"" is a comedic play by John Maddison Morton Esquire. The story revolves around two men, Mr. Box and Mr. Cox, who unknowingly rent the same room from a landlord. The landlord, Mrs. Bouncer, decides to keep the situation a secret and rents the room to both men at different times of the day. This leads to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mistaken identities as Box and Cox try to figure out why their room is always occupied when they are not there. As the plot unfolds, the two men discover that they have more in common than they initially thought and form an unlikely bond. The play is a classic example of farce and has been popular since its first performance in 1847. It is a light-hearted and entertaining read that is sure to leave readers laughing out loud.It is not the case only with the coals, Mrs. Bouncer, but I've lately observed a gradual and steady increase of evaporation among my candles, wood, sugar and lucifer matches.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
