The stage directions for this play indicate that an autotype of the main figure of Titian's Assumption should hang above the fireplace. After learning that the woman he loves fills dirty lamps daily, a character in this play promises her a chariot to carry them into the stars, comparing those stars to lamps that "don't need to be filled with paraffin oil every day." The title character of this play stares at the tip of a poker while becoming intensely bored by a poetry reading. At the opening of this play, the secretary Proserpine "Prossy" Garnett berates the low-class curate Lexy and lets in Mr. Burgess to speak with his son-in-law, a Christian socialist lecturer who later gives a speech at the Guild of St. Matthew. This entry in Plays Peasant is subtitled "A Mystery," and ends with the title "pure" woman choosing her husband James Morrell over the poet Eugene Marchbanks. For 10 points, name this comedy by George Bernard Shaw named for a woman.
