A distressed New York couple in 1723 receives aid from their daughter who, facing poverty, considers selling her fore teeth to a dentist for three guineas per tooth. The dentist instead gives ten guineas, sparing the family hardship. The excerpt also includes humorous lines from a temperance lecturer and banter about courtship and hypocrisy.
Leary Wentworth returns tired to find his wife in a torn wrapper reading a trashy novel with slippers worn down at the heel. He pursues order, she protests, and their evenings drift into a pattern of slovenliness, visiting a reading room and a club scene while their home life frays. The piece contrasts vanity and neglect with lessons on domestic harmony and suggests who bears the blame.
