description

This is an 1856 one-act farce by John Brougham. The pages have been formatted OUT OF ORDER for regular reading--but are instead formatted so that, if printed as a double-sided document, the booklet may be folded in half and stapled in the middle to make small playbooks. Make sure to print a test to see if your printer needs to turn the pages on the short or long edge of the paper.
