This volume contains two one act plays;

THE RUFFIAN ON THE STAIR – One day a strange man appears asking for a room. He begins taunting the woman and comes close to viciousness. The next day he returns, but this time Mike is there too. We can now piece things together – Mike has killed the homosexual lover and brother of Wilson. So Wilson pretend’s to ravish Joyce and forces Mike to shoot him – “The heart is situated just below this badge on my pullover. Don’t miss, will you?”

THE ERPINGHAM CAMP – This is a camp for grown-ups, not for children, and certainly not for fun. In the midst of the activities there is a fight, or rather a free-for-all, during which the headmaster falls through the floor on to the heads of the dancers below, killing several of them. The action concludes with an elegy.
