DOCTOR SCRATCH, by Noël le Breton, is a clever and hilarious farce, in which love becomes hopelessly entangled in the attempts by the characters to improve their declining financial situations. THE SERVANT PROBLEM, by Alain-René Lesage, the well-known novelist, two criminals manage to insert themselves as valets to several young men looking to marry the daughters of wealthy families--and decide to abscond with the dowry themselves! In THE FORFEITURE, by Charles Dufresny, a handsome young man is constricted in his marriage prospects by the fact that his two maiden-lady aunts control the family fortune, which can only be forfeited to him if they marry. Another valet takes charge by seducing both women in different guises. Three very funny--and very modern--takes on the art and science of romancing!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alain Rene Le Sage,Charles Dufresny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1479400769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479400768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Borgo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Alain Rene Le Sage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437849161983,"sku":"9781479400768","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7c44a52-355d-4ea7-8eff-68b26b057744.jpg?v=1777167185","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/doctor-scratch-and-other-plays-alain-rene-le-sage-9781479400768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
