Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Great Adventure: A Play of Fancy in Four Acts" by Arnold Bennett is a play first produced in 1913. When a celebrated but reclusive painter's valet dies, the artist seizes an opportunity to escape unwanted fame by assuming his servant's identity. As the supposedly dead painter is honored with burial in Westminster Abbey, complications multiply: a lonely widow arrives expecting to meet her pen-pal correspondent, art experts discover suspicious new paintings, and a forgotten wife surfaces with bigamy accusations.
