This work is a beautifully written 1883 parody drama about "Patience," a young woman who milks the cow and sleeps in the stable. This work by D. Dalziel, the Editor of the Chicago News Letter, includes several colorful illustrations that leave an impact on the reader. Excerpt from the Parody on Patience "ANGELA—There is a strange magic in this love of ours. Rivals, as we all are, in the affections of our Reginald, the very hopelessness of our love is a bond that binds us to one another. (All sigh.) ANE—Fools, yes, fools. Know ye not that this man never can be yours? He loves another, and that other is Patience. (General misery.)"
