In this second act the audience is introduced to the dilemma of working women like Irene She is a successful businesswoman and therefore she is not considered a proper lady She spends all her time at work among her employees However if she were to go out for fun without a chaperone it would damage her business No proper lady would patronize her shop The meeting of Irene and Cornelius is a meeting between equals They are not equals in status but in their humanity Both are hungry for love and adventure They are only able to feel their equality because of the illusion that Cornelius is a wealthy man The audience realizes too that if Irene marries Horace simply to be more comfortable she will not be happier Yet when Horace arrives Irene plays the role assigned to women in s middle class culture by pretending to need his advice on business This is further evidence of her quandary Obviously a successful businesswoman she must be exhausted by her work and loneliness to pander to Horaces ego in this way Wilder foreshadows part of the resolution of this comedy when Dolly suggests that Horace makes Cornelius a partner in his business This is the second time the idea has been mentioned in the play The audience knows that women will be partnered with men in marriage and men will be partnered with one another in business Act takes place in the late afternoon on the veranda of the Harmonia Gardens Restaurant in New York Horace and his new clerk Malachi are at the restaurant arranging for Horaces dinner with Miss Simple Ambrose and Ermengarde arrive at the restaurant in a cab chaperoned by Dolly Malachi pulls Horace behind a folding screen so that they can hear the other three characters as they insult Horace Dolly however becomes aware of Horaces presence and quickly changes her tone from insult to praise and sympathy She then leads the young people upstairs for their dinner Horace bribes Malachi and the cabman who is still outside giving instructions that when the young couple come out of the restaurant the cabman is to take them to Flora Van Huysens address and keep them there until Horace arrives Meanwhile |
