Archive and the Library of Congress.  a"Comediettas and Farces" by John Maddison Morton is a collection of comedic plays written in the late 19th century. The work features a range of light-hearted theatrical pieces, including witty dialogues and humorous situations designed for private performances, appealing to amateur dramatics and enthusiasts of British farce. The opening focuses on one play, "Box and Cox," featuring two main characters, John Box and James Cox, who unwittingly share the same room while going about their respective lives as a printer and a hatter.  The beginning of the collection introduces "Box and Cox," a farce that brings forth the comedic misadventures of two characters who occupy the same room at different times, unaware of each other's presence. The action unfolds as Mrs. Bouncer, the landlord, cleverly manages their separate lives. Box and Cox's humorous interactions revolve around misunderstandings regarding their living situation, each believing they alone have rights to the accommodations. The stage is set for a clash of personalities, misunderstandings, and lunch-time chaos, blending clever banter with the humorous consequences of double occupancy, which promises a delightful experience for readers and theater enthusiasts alike.
