Book Overview

""A Scrap of Paper"" is a comedic play in three acts, written by French playwright Victorien Sardou and first performed in 1860. The play revolves around the character of Baron de La Glaci�����re, a wealthy and arrogant man who is engaged to the beautiful and virtuous Suzanne de Villiers. However, their engagement is threatened when a scrap of paper is discovered that suggests the Baron has had an affair with another woman.
