The Boy Comes
Home
BY
A. A. MILNE
“The Boy Comes Home” is a comic one act play written by
A. A. Milne. Philip is a young man of twenty three. He
returns to London after four years of his service in the war
front. He lives with his Uncle James and Aunt Emily. Philip
is fond of his Aunt Emily. He likes his uncle but hates his
strict authoritative behaviour. When the play opens Philip
enters the dining room at 10 o’clock for breakfast. As per
Uncle James’ rules, breakfast should be served at 8 o’clock.
Mrs. Higgins refuses to serve breakfast to Philip until he gets
proper order from her master. She even goes to the extent of
giving one month notice. Philip handles the situation smartly
that he makes the cook serve him breakfast. Aunt Emily
feels tremendous difference in Philips character. Uncle
James waits for the arrival of Philip. He falls asleep and in
his dream he visualizes Philip as a rude young man asking
for the money left by his father. He threatens his uncle with a
revolver to do as he desires. He even smokes pipe in front of
him. Uncle James is afraid of Philip now. In reality Philip
behaves in a different way. Uncle James attitude towards
Philip is also changed. When Uncle James asks him whether
he is willing to join his jam business he readily agrees.
