Summary: "The Schoolmistress: A Farce in Three Acts" by Arthur Wing Pinero is a comedic play written in the late 19th century. The story is set primarily at Volumnia College, a fictional boarding school for young ladies, and revolves around the significant event of the school's principal, Miss Dyott, leaving for a time, as well as the humorous complications that arise from her mysterious husband. The characters include the spirited students—particularly Dinah, who is in love with Reginald, and Peggy, who is determined to help her friend navigate her romantic troubles. At the start of the play, the scene is set in Miss Dyott’s seminary, where servants discuss the peculiar circumstances surrounding Miss Dyott's departure and the mystery of her husband. The young ladies in the college express their excitement and concern about their principal leaving them for the holidays, and they have resolved to help Dinah Rankling, who is covertly married to Reginald Paulover, to reunite with him despite the potential disapproval from her parents, Admiral and Mrs. Rankling. The interactions among the girls reveal their personalities and loyalties, setting the stage for social chaos encircled by secrets and misunderstandings that promise lively comedic encounters as the story unfolds.
