The hunchback in the present instance marries a young lady who is afflicted with a fatal propensity to drop every article of crockery she happens to touch. After her marriage she becomes skillful and adroit as could be wished for, and she daily congratulates herself upon the wisdom of her mother, who directed her choice of a suitable husband. Science accomplishes all things, however, and the hunchback, reading one day of a doctor's back straightener, seeks a consultation with the physician and is persuaded to be operated upon. After being immured in a formidable looking machine, in appearance something like a small gasometer, he is subjected to the treatment, which consists of the upper half of the contrivance being raised by means of a lever. The hunchback emerges fairly straight, and the operation is completed by the application of an enormous iron. At the same moment, the wife commences again to smash all the crockery in the house, and the return of her husband as straight as a dart explains the cause. Hurt and angry, she and her mother drag him back to the physician for the purpose of having his hump restored, but here he strenuously revolts and declares that if a hunchback is necessary in the family, his mother-in-law must be sacrificed, which she accordingly is with satisfactory results.
