Description

""Retired From Business"" is a comedic play in three acts, written by Douglas William Jerrold and published in 1851. The story revolves around the character of Mr. Samuel Pepys, a retired businessman who is determined to live a life of leisure and luxury. However, his plans are disrupted when his former business partner, Mr. Caudle, comes to visit him with a proposal to start a new venture. Along the way, Pepys encounters a cast of colorful characters, including his scheming nephew, a flirtatious widow, and a conniving servant. The play is a satire of the Victorian era's obsession with wealth and status, and it pokes fun at the greed and selfishness of its characters. With witty dialogue and clever plot twists, ""Retired From Business"" is a lighthearted and entertaining read that still resonates with modern audiences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
