Trouble for Bowser as bluffing mother-in-law saves the day
Mrs Bowser’s mother-in-law, Sarah Thompson, recounts how she bluffed her son-in-law Samuel Bowser after he threatened to harm her and complained of a headache. Through a three hour monologue of threats and persistence she wore him down, securing his return home and promising two weeks more of peace. The piece ends with a humorous quip about inherited canning talent.
