the summary of the chapter the never never nest
Answers
This one-act play revolves around the lifestyle of Jack and his wife Jill. They are married and live together in house that is bought through an installment scheme. Even their car and furniture are not fully owned by them as they have bought them similarly.
Aunt Janet, Jack's aunty, visits them and is shocked to find their secret weapon to look rich when they are not. She refuses to use their furniture or car as she thinks Jack does not fully have their ownership. Annoyed and distressed by their careless act, she leaves them a cheque of ten pounds.
On return from seeing off Aunt Janet, Jacket finds that his wife Jill has sent the nurse to Dr. Martin to give the cheque as they had their first baby in installments too.
Answer:
The Never Never Nest” is a one-act play written by Cedric Mount. This is a witty and thought provoking play. It is a satire on the tendency of buying things on instalment basis.
Jack and Jill were newly married couple. One day, Aunt Jane visited them. The couple was excited to show their new house, the furniture, the car and other things to her. Aunt Jane did not understand how the couple managed to buy the house and other possessions. The couple told that they got everything by paying small advances. They had to pay instalments to own them. Further, they borrowed money from “Thrift and Providence Company” to pay the instalments.
