The book is a collection of humorous lectures given by Mrs. Caudle, a fictional character, to her husband as they lay in bed at night behind their bedroom curtain. Mrs. Caudle's lectures are full of complaints, criticisms, and moral lessons, often directed at her husband's behavior and habits. Her lectures cover a wide range of topics, from household chores and finances to social etiquette and personal hygiene.
