Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Steele and the Sentimental Comedy
Lord Brumpton, an elderly nobleman married to a young and beautiful wife, is supposed to be dead. Really he has had some fit or swoon, and his body-servant Trusty (one of the earliest examples of this well-worn character on the English stage) discovers that he is alive and apparently none the worse. All this we learn from a conversation of master and servant in the first act.
