"Enon rahat" by Théodore Barrière is a three-act comedic play written in the mid-19th century. It follows the pliable ex-furrier Plumet as scheming relatives and hangers-on compete for his money and favor, while the earnest young lovers Pauline and Lucien try to secure their future through his support. Pauline aims to marry Plumet to the gentle Clemence to win a financial guarantee for Lucien’s legal career. Moving from Paris to Burgundy, the
comedy spins on money, manipulation, and marriage. The opening of the play shows Plumet’s Paris home, where petty quarrels and flattery swirl around his recent sale of his business. Pauline and Lucien plot to have Plumet meet Clemence so he might back Lucien, while Robineau, Henriette, and Martel alternately cajole and undermine one another to pry gifts from the indecisive uncle; Plumet even promises each a tidy sum before second thoughts set in. Philip, the carefree cousin, announces he will leave on principle, then is persuaded to stay, and Henriette cleverly pivots the family to urge a “healthful” retreat to the country, seconded by the bluff Colonel Dutocq; Plumet warms to buying an estate near Meursault. At the start of the second act, the brusque lawyer Galouzou shows Plumet the property, Pauline brings Clemence, and the matchmaking plan is pressed just as Lucien arrives.
