School is in! Intent on instructing the perfect wife, wealthy suitors Sgaranlle and Arnolphe each approach the situation differently, but surprisingly with similar results. Controlling and short-sighted, each mature suitor is tricked by lessons in love that only youth can fully appreciate. Smile in mischievous delight as the beautiful young wards turn the tables on their unlucky mentors. No matter the intent, the girls get the highest grades in their pair of playful stories from France’s greatest humourist.
