A Sketch for Broadcasting by Houghton Townley.

The Squire has heard of the exploits of a cat-burglar in the neighbourhood of his house, and he arranges an ambush with the aid of Jackson, the gardener. While they are watching on the old nursery balcony they unwillingly act as eavesdroppers when the Squire's daughter has a rendezvous with the man she has secretly married. While this unexpected incident is taking place the cat-burglar arrives, but he finds it quite easy to get in by the front door.
