Her lover carries the rose to the young woman whom the roue had picked out for his bride and promptly falls in love with her.

She with equal promptness, following the example of Wagner's heroines, bowls herself at his head.

The noble vulgarian complicates matters by insisting that he receive a dowry instead of paying one.

The young hot-blood adds to the difficulties by pinking him in the arm with his sword, but restores order at the last by sending him a letter of assignation in his first act guise of a maid servant of the princess.
This assignation is the background of the third act, which is farce of the wildest and most vulgar order.

Much of it is too silly for description.
