Place: Fenella, a girls’ school, in a small town near Boston. THE STORY OF THE PLAY Miss Laidlaw, principal of an exclusive girls’ school is expecting an important addition to her faculty, Sir Hector Fish, a distinguished young scientist, who is bringing with him the recently discovered mummy of King Tuts’ queen. In the meatime, two important events take place at the school—valuable jewelry is stolen— Francis Briscoe calls on his friend, Bill Laidlow, a nephew of Miss Laidlow. Brisky, (Briscoe) after catching a glimpse of some of the students of the school, decides that his business engagements are not so pressing and that he can spare the time to make an extended visit. However, he is informed that no men visitors are allowed. Miss Laidlow appears on the scene and mistakes Brisky for Sir Hector Fish, who in reality has been detained in New York. Brisky seizes the opportunity and pretends to be Sir Hoctor. Sir Hector finally arrives but in a most unconventional manner—inside the mummy case, in which he has had himself expressed so as to escape being quarantined in New York for a well developed case of mumps. His identity is discovered and kept secret by the cleverest pupil in school, Anna Hampton, partly to save him from arrest for breaking quarantine and partly because of the other Sir Hector, who is impersonating him and whom she thinks is the thief of the jewelry. The authorities trace Sir Hector to the school but have difficulty in apprehending him. As a consequence, everyone, with exception of Miss Laidlow, is forbidden to leave the campus. The situation becomes too uncomfortable for either Sir Hector or his impersonator. Each, of course, unknown to the other, decide to impersonate Miss Laidlaw and under this masquerade tries to make his getaway. Unfortunately both are apprehended at the same time and each claims to be Miss Laidlaw. This situation finally leads to a truthful explanation. The jewels are found, the engagements are announced and all ends well. Page Fourteen
