The Commission in Lunacy

Madame d'Espard and her husband have lived apart for most of their married life, the two children residing with their father. In this short work Madame d'Espard tries to get her husband declared incompetent so that she can control his money as well as her own. Popinot is the very astute judge originally assigned to the case--too astute to suit Madame d'Espard who intrigues to have him removed.
