Help please !!!! Read the excerpts from Alice Gerstenbergs’s play, Fourteen, and “The Dinner Party”, which show an event in the

No regards for hostesses feelings no regards for the efforts she goes through to provide evening enjoyments, and such a good dinner I planned....” And so on. She also hits the telephone in anger and paces back and forth in rage.
In the short story it only says “how dare! At the last moment! So inconsiderate of him....” and so on. The play only says that she flew into a rage and that she roared her sentences.
He is shocked and terrified and calls on his family for help. He rushes out of his room to seek help. He determines to continue with his normal work and family relationships.
