Serene Bowser and odd visitors test a quiet home
In a domestic vignette Bowser and his wife face a parade of salesmen and hopefuls at their door. A talking machine promoter, a book promoter and a cow seller all press for attention while Bowser stays calm, joking with his wife, until a doctor arrives to check him after a late evening of visitors. The piece ends with a reflection on public life and past remarks by political figures.
