A Parody on Patience

"A Parody on Patience" by D. Dalziel is a funny play about love and class, probably from older times. It's about Grosvenor and Patience, two main characters, and how they're caught in a messy love square. The play makes jokes about what love really means and makes fun of people who care too much about being important, like railroad conductors. The story starts with characters like Angela, Ella, and Saphir talking about how they feel about Grosvenor, which shows how complicated things are. Patience, who the play is named after, is a simple dairy maid who doesn't know much about love, which makes the story even funnier. As the characters talk, the play makes light of the conductors from the Chicago and Alton Railroad, using their uniforms as a way to show how people want to be important and desirable, while also exaggerating how people act when they're in love.
