The Magic Tower And Other One-Act Plays (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
The town is Primanproper, Massachusetts, which lies within the cultural orbit of Boston. The play starts in the early morning. Miss Simple, very agitated for some reason, has just opened her little shop. She stands in the open door in a flood of spring sunlight, but her face expresses grief and indignation. She is calling to a police officer on the corner. DOROTHY: Officer?—Officer! OFFICER [strolling up to her]: Yes, Miss Simple? DOROTHY: I wish to report a case of deliberate and malicious sabotage!

Every single little petunia deliberately and maliciously crushed under foot! OFFICER: My goodness! Well, well, well! DOROTHY: “Well, well, well”
