Summary Like many of Catherine Gore's other works,ℓQuid Pro Quo; Or, the Day of the Dupesℓspeaks of the upper class, their desires of money and power and their unwillingness to work to attain more of it. The comedy focuses on howℓthe aristocratsℓhave to fraternize with the lower classes to maintain power structures, thus blurring the lines of social inequality.
