describe the drama the dear departed as a humorous story
Answers
In the drama the Dear Departed Mrs Slater assumes that her father Mr Abel Merryweather has expired and calls her sister and brother-in-law, the Jordans to discuss about property matters, even not being in good terms with her sister.
When the Slater family was all set in mourning attires and Mrs Slater was busy hiding her father’s bureau so that the Jordans were unable to trace it, Abel Merryweather wakes up all hale and hearty and is surprised to see everyone in such dresses.
When he realized that everyone mistook his sleep due to headache as his demise, and realized that his belongings were already about to be used, he got amused.
He stared enjoying his tea and and told everyone that he was getting married to Mrs Shorrock and would spend his remaining days happily with her.
The way the author has turned the entire events of the drama, the incidents which could have taken a tragic turn ended up in quite a humorous way.
