Brief summary of the dear departed by stanley houghton

Answer 1

Answer:

The two sisters are not on talking terms with each other as they often quarrel on things when in the same place. Mrs Slater’s husband, Henry and daughter Victoria stay in the house with her father but rarely care about his health and happiness.

One day Mrs Slater finds her father sprawled motionless on his bed. She assumes the worst and declares him dead. She asks Victoria to change into sober clothes as a form of respect as they in mourning of her father’s demise.
