Overview
""Three To One: A Comedy, In Two Acts"" is a play written by John Lettsom Elliot and first published in 1850. The play is set in London and follows the story of three young men who are all vying for the affections of the same woman. The three men, Charles, Alfred, and Harry, each have their own unique personalities and approaches to winning the heart of the beautiful and wealthy Miss Julia. Charles is a suave and sophisticated gentleman who believes that money and social status are the keys to winning Julia's heart. Alfred, on the other hand, is a more down-to-earth and honest man who believes that true love and sincerity are what really matter. Harry is a bumbling and comical character who is always getting into trouble and making a fool of himself, but he too is smitten with Julia and determined to win her over. As the play unfolds, the three men engage in a series of hilarious and often ridiculous antics to try and win Julia's favor. They go to great lengths to impress her, including staging a fake duel, pretending to be wealthy aristocrats, and even dressing up as women. Along the way, they also encounter a number of other colorful characters, including Julia's father, a scheming lawyer, and a group of rowdy sailors. Despite all of the chaos and confusion, the play ultimately ends with a happy resolution as Julia finally chooses the man who truly loves her for who she is. ""Three To One: A Comedy, In Two Acts"" is a charming and entertaining play that offers a lighthearted look at the complexities of love and relationships in 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
