The Two Unfettered Birds and a Counterfeit Love Lesson
A humorously dressed tale follows Laura and Edgar, a New Hampshire linked pair who discuss philosophy and resist romance. As Laura retreats into independence and social work, Edgar clings to bachelor freedom while a family crisis forces Laura toward motherhood, exposing marriage as a trap for some and freedom for others. The piece closes with the moral that after forty, one should take charge of something human, even a chauffeur.
