Three one-act comedies:
The Fear of Blows
Back from a party, household scene. He is jealous, but also terribly cowardly. He can’t stand men courting his wife or even talking to her, but he’s incapable of holding them accountable. She provokes him.
The honor of the Brossarbourgs
Madame de Brossarbourg fears for her honor because someone has put her hand on her buttocks. She tells her husband that to make sure of the identity of the author of these touches, she slept with all her guests: Monsieur de Proutrépéto, Monsieur de Poilu-Boudin, General Baron de la
Rossardiere. Monsieur de Brossarbourg laughs at his wife’s stupidity: he was the author…
peace at home
A man, tired of being perpetually driven mad by his young wife, and now refusing to make scenes with her, decides to fine her: each time she exasperates him, he will reduce the sums he gives to him to maintain the household. A threat of rupture is quickly followed by a reconciliation.
