BORROWING A HUSBAND AND POPPING THE QUESTION TALES
A long comic piece from 1831 recounts a New York misadventure where a man mistaken for another’s husband faces a cart driver and a staged domestic scene. It then shifts to Edinburgh satire on the awkwardness of proposing marriage with anecdotes of Timothy Timbertoes and a shy lord’s struggle to speak love.
