Synopsis

""Box and Cox"" is a short comedic play written by John Maddison Morton Esquire. The story follows two men, Mr. Box and Mr. Cox, who unknowingly rent the same room from the same landlord. The two men work opposite shifts, with Box working during the day and Cox working at night. They never meet each other until one day, they both come home early and discover the situation. The landlord tries to keep them from discovering each other, but eventually, they do and hilarity ensues. The play is a classic example of farce and has been adapted into various forms, including an opera and a musical. This edition of the book includes the full text of the play and an introduction from the editor.It is not the case only with the coals, Mrs. Bouncer, but I've lately observed a gradual and steady increase of evaporation among my candles, wood, sugar and lucifer matches.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Cox, dressed, with the exception of his coat, is looking at himself in a small looking-glass, which is in his hand. Cox. I’ve half a mind to register an oath that I’ll never have my hair cut again! [His hair is very short.] I look as if I had just been cropped for the militia! And I was particularly emphatic in my instructions to the hair-dresser, only to cut the ends off. He must have thought I meant the other ends! Never mind—I shan’t meet anybody to care about so early. Eight o’clock, I declare! I haven’t a moment to lose. Fate has placed me with the most punctual, particular, and peremptory of hatters, and I must fulfil my destiny. [Knock at L. D.] Open locks, whoever knocks!
