Contrariado com a imposição do pai para se casar com a rica viúva Santos, Rodolfo se mostra decidido a manter sua liberdade e seu ideal romântico de amor verdadeiro. No entanto, o Dr. Sepúlveda, obstinado e astuto, arquiteta uma solução que parece unir conveniência e sentimento, ou ao menos assim espera.

Nestes trechos, Artur Azevedo transforma encontros e mal-entendidos em cenas repletas de graça e crítica social. Em "Útil inda brincando", um homem tenta se livrar da amante pedindo a ajuda de um amigo, mas logo descobre que manipular sentimentos pode ter consequências inesperadas. Em "Uma noite em Petrópolis", um jornalista busca descanso na serra, mas sua tentativa de paz é frustrada por uma visita inesperada e inoportuna.

Os dois contos reunidos neste volume pertencem ao livro "Contos fora de moda", de Artur Azevedo, e mostram seu estilo direto, bem-humorado e crítico. Em "A cozinheira", o narrador apresenta a história de Araújo, homem galanteador e confiante, que acaba enganado por aquela em quem menos esperava. O episódio revela, com ironia e senso de justiça, os perigos da vaidade e da traição.

Neste conjunto de três contos curtos, Artur Azevedo combina humor, crítica social e situações cotidianas para expor o ridículo da ignorância e das aparências. Em "Plebiscito", a simples pergunta de um menino sobre o significado da palavra provoca uma reação desproporcional do pai, tomado pelo receio de expor a própria ignorância.

Nestes dois contos, Artur Azevedo lança um olhar crítico e espirituoso sobre o jogo de aparências, os desejos contrariados e os arranjos sociais impostos.

A escolha forçada por seu pai evidencia como a vontade feminina é silenciada em nome das conveniências sociais.
