The play is about how the daughters of an old man are fighting over his possessions, even though they are supposed to be mourning his assumed death.
The British higher class are usually thought of as very polite and not greedy but generous, but, in the play, it is quite the other way round.
When news of their father's assumed death is known, the sisters meet at one of their homes and strat arguing about what furniture and possessions the other daughter has taken of their father. But when their father gets up and sees what his daughters are up to, he is saddened and decides not to give any of his possessions to his daughters.
This behaviour of the daughters is hypocritical as compared to what is expected of British higher class.
