Hobson’s Choice
Henry Hobson possesses and tyrannically runs a thriving Victorian boot maker’s store in Salford, England. A stingy widower having a weakness for overindulging at the regional Moonraker Public House, he exploits his daughters as cheap labor. When he admits that there’ll be ‘no unions’ to prevent the cost of marriage settlements in £500 every, his eldest girl Maggie rebels.
