[edit] Act I

[edit] Scene i

The audience is introduced to two friends, Charlotte and Letitia. They discuss the upcoming marriage of Mr. Dimple and Maria Van Rough. During the engagement, Dimple traveled to England, leaving Maria to read books. In reading books, her tastes improved to the point of finding Dimple's love letters poorly written and rather vain than honest.

Maria speaks to her father about her depression, which he attributes to her reading. In a soliloquy, Maria believes that if she tells her father how she truly feels, he will understand.

[edit] Scene II

Charlotte and Letitia return from shopping. Charlotte is pleased with her purchase of a fashionable dress, despite its poor fit. She was also happy to buy a hat, preventing Sally Slender from buying it.
