Sayings and Doings is a comedy by Morton

Possibly a dramatization by Morton of the story The Man of Many Friends by Theodore Edward Hook ()[], from volume two of his collection of stories entitled Sayings and Doings. Morton took the title of the play from the collection of stories, but Hook admits Morton might have obtained the plot for his play directly from the French comedy Jour á Paris (), from which Hook himself had drawn the idea.
