The Silver Box is a powerful and bitter play. In a fit of drunken mischief Jack, the dissolute son of the highly respectable Mr. Barthwick, a Liberal Member of Parliament, steals a purse from a woman. In a similar fit of drunken mischief Jones, the husband of the Borthwick's charwoman, steals the silver cigarette box and the purse after helping Jack to enter his father's house.
This context is taken from the introduction to one of 'John Galsworthy' plays 'Act 3 of the silver box'.
