"The Twins, and How They Entertained the New Minister: A Farce" by Elizabeth F. Guptill is a light comedic play written in the early 20th century. This farce features the antics of two young twins, Bobby and Betty, who take it upon themselves to entertain their new minister during his pastoral visit. Through their innocent but humorous misunderstanding of adult conversations and behaviors, the twins create an amusing portrayal of childhood perspective on the adult world. In the play, the twins, full of curiosity and mischief, engage in playful banter with the newly arrived Rev. J. Jones while awaiting their mother’s appearance. Their dialogues are filled with childlike confusion over adult customs, such as candy rewards for callers and the concept of gambling. The highlight comes from the twins' attempts to impress the minister with their made-up games and amusing insights about adult behavior, ultimately leading to a charming, humorous exchange that underscores their innocence. The comedic portrayal of these children interacting with an adult reinforces themes of childhood mischief and misunderstandings, making for an entertaining read.
