...invitation came as a complete surprise, but the members of the family said yes, they could arrange to make it all right. On the appointed day, the widowed mother, her two sons, her daughter and her son-in-law were shown into the office of their host.

The opportunist son-in-law (Don Guiney) is portrayed as too much of an arch-villain, overly conspiratorial, first with one side and then the other, weilding his cane about like a swagger stick. The pity that Strindberg felt for such a pathetic victim...
