Summary: "A Parody on Patience" by D. Dalziel is a theatrical script that appears to be a comedic take on the themes of love and social status, likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around characters embroiled in a love quadrangle, notably including the protagonists Grosvenor and Patience, with humorous commentary on the nature of romance and the appeal (or folly) of societal roles related to railway conductors. The narrative cleverly blends elements of farce with social satire, poking fun at both romantic ideals and the railroad industry's culture. The opening of the parody sets the scene with lively dialogue among characters, such as Angela, Ella, and Saphir, who express their feelings for Grosvenor, alluding to the complications that arise from their affection for him. Patience, the titular character, is introduced as a dairy maid whose lack of experience with love brings an element of innocence to the mix. As various characters interact, the script reveals a humorous take on the conductors of the Chicago and Alton Railroad, using their admired uniforms as a metaphor for social positions and desirability, while highlighting the exaggeration around love and attraction in a light-hearted theatrical manner.
