Dust In Your Eyes
From La Poudre aux Yeux by Eugene Labiche and E. Martin. Author(s):
Emanuel Wax
Dr. and Madame Malingear are perfectly satisfied with their pleasant, uneventful existence until it comes to their ears that their daughter, Emily, is seriously interested in a young man who has been an increasingly frequent caller. When confronted with a demand as to what his intentions might be the young man, Frederick, confesses his love. He also announces that his father is a retired businessman "of sufficient fortune." The Malingears are pleased but, at the same time, apprehensive that Frederick’s family might find them not of an equal social or financial standing. When they learn that Monsieur and Madame Ratinois (the parents) plan to visit them incognito the Malingears decide to throw "dust in their eyes" with a vengeance. And so they do--with lavish extravagances they can’t afford. Monsieur and Madame Ratinois respond in kind, and soon both families are near bankruptcy. Fortunately a kindly, level-headed uncle saves the day, and brings the lovers happily together at last.
