Weyant, Stan Goodman, Charles Franks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Belinda: An April Folly in Three Acts" by A. A. Milne is a comedic play likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Belinda Tremayne, a charming widow enjoying her solitude in Devonshire, as she navigates the playful dynamics of potential suitors and the unexpected arrival of her daughter, Delia. Central to the narrative is the exploration of romantic entanglements and the humor that arises from misunderstandings and the efforts to maintain decorum in social interactions. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Belinda and her servant, Betty, as they prepare Belinda’s garden for an afternoon encounter. Their light-hearted banter sets a whimsical tone, hinting at Belinda's desire to fend off unwanted attention from Mr. Baxter, her prim suitor, while anticipating the arrival of a more poetic Mr. Devenish. Delia’s return from school introduces a new dynamic, as mother and daughter share affectionate, yet humorous interactions about Belinda's past and current romantic prospects. The scene unfolds with playful dialogues and a hint of intrigue involving Delia's potential future and Belinda’s own flirtations, establishing a lively backdrop for the ensuing comedic chaos.
