Review
Is This An Overview?
The friends are sharing gossip, speaking of romantic
interests, with the conversation tending to be about a maid. A maid who pilfers cigarettes. The friends seem well, but appear to have few
prospects. A plan is thought up to
convince the maid to pilfer more than cigarettes. While alone and waiting to hear about the
conclusion of the plan, one of the friend’s contemplates life, for something
more stable. Does the maid go through
with the plan?
