Summary: "Under a Veil: A Comedietta in One Act" by Sir Randal H. Roberts and George M. Baker is a comedic play written during the late 19th century. This work is characterized as a one-act play or comedietta, focusing on the playful interactions between characters in an intimate setting, likely capturing the lighthearted spirit of its time. The narrative revolves around themes of mistaken identities, romance, and the comedic misunderstandings that ensue in social encounters. The story unfolds in a hotel where Charles Devereaux, a bachelor, finds himself unintentionally caught up in a mix-up when his room is exchanged with that of a lady named Lucy Mortimer. As their rooms are adjacent, humorous interactions occur through a door that separates them. The play highlights their witty exchanges and misunderstandings, particularly stemming from Charles's unfinished letter, which Lucy reads. The interactions culminate in a veiled meeting and an exploration of relationships and assumptions, bringing to light their feelings and the transformative power of love, as Charles realizes a romantic interest in Lucy despite his previous apathy. The play concludes with a humorous yet earnest reflection on love and the whimsical nature of life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
