The Double Dealer is a play written by William Congreve, a prominent English playwright of the late 17th century. The play is a comedy of manners that explores the themes of deception, betrayal, and love. The story revolves around the character of Maskwell, a cunning and manipulative double dealer who schemes to deceive his friends and lovers for his own benefit. He is aided in his schemes by Lady Touchwood, a woman who is infatuated with him and willing to do anything to win his love. However, Maskwell's plans are complicated when he falls in love with Cynthia, the daughter of one of his friends. As the plot unfolds, the characters engage in a series of witty and humorous exchanges, as they attempt to outmaneuver each other in a game of love and deceit. The Double Dealer is considered one of Congreve's most accomplished works, and is widely regarded as a classic of English literature. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of English drama, and remains a popular choice for students and scholars of literature.LORD TOUCH.

Come, come, I know my Lady Plyant has a large eye, and would centre everything in her own circle; 'tis not the first time she has mistaken respect for love, and made Sir Paul jealous of the civility of an undesigning person, the better to bespeak his security in her unfeigned pleasures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
