Garside's Career by Harold Brighouse
Harold Brighouse (26 July 1882 - 25 July 1958) was an English playwright and author whose best known play is Hobson's Choice. He was a prominent member, together with Allan Monkhouse and Stanley Houghton, of a group known as the Manchester School of dramatists.
Hobson's Choice
Henry Horatio Hobson, widower and boot-shop proprietor, is much incensed at the 'general increase of uppishness' amongst his three daughters. The climax comes when he teases Maggie (the eldest and the ringleader) on her being past the marrying age. Maggie promptly retaliates by marrying Hobson's best boot-hand, Will Mossup, and turning this retiring youth into a sturdy fellow whose new confidence makes him a real business rival to Hobson.

Dealing in Futures by Harold Brighouse
ACT IThe dining-room of Jabez Thompson's; the room is luxuriously furnished and combines comfort with ostentation; the door is left, and at the back a large doorway curtained off leads to the billiard-room. (A plan of this and the other scenes in the play will be found at the end of the book.) The table is littered with the debris of dinner, and at it sit Jabez Thompson (l.), and Rosie his daughter (l.), facing each other. Jabez is elderly, corpulent, bearded, of florid face and general prosperous appearance; he wears a frock coat, light grey trousers, and has a heavy gold watch chain. He speaks with all the assertiveness of life-long success.ROSIE is dark and highly coloured, her face strong rather than beautiful. She dresses with taste, avoiding her fathers scarcely veiled vulgarity, and wears a high dress of some amber material. She inherits her father's strength of will, and though outwardly cultured, has not been able to subdue entirely a naturally violent temper. Her voice is a little shrill and shrewish, and Jabez is obviously rather afraid of her.Mallinson, the butler, enters with coffee, which he places on the table by Rosie. Rosie pours coffee. Butler puts cup by Jabez.
