The original text
There is no information on a play by this name, beyond a reference in Bosman (1980, p. 371), but it may possibly be a wrongly cited version of Drawing Room, Second Floor and Attics, a farce in one act by J.M. Morton first performed at the Royal Princess’s Theatre, London, on the 28th of March, 1864 and published by Thomas Hailes Lacy in the same year.
