Taking my cue from the inspiring Believe. Name correctly the literary couple and the work in which they appear. Then give clues for a new literary couple and work. I'll go first.
A happy couple, live in an apartment. They've been asked to watch the apartment across the hall while the residents are on vacation. They get naked, drink the booze, try on clothes and lock themselves out before they can clear the evidence of the lifestyle envy they've acted out.
I don't know this, but it sounds similar to the One Act Play, "Dark Comedy." Except the part where they get naked, drunk, or locked out. BUT, it has a mistress, stolen furniture, and lots o'laughs. So -- exactly the same but not at all. (sorry) But I want the GAME to keep going... so, if someone can answer ctgoods2, you should do it, otherwise, here is option #2:
She sways the jury when her true beau is being tried for treason. Then, when he is arrested (again) for treason in a different country, she stands outside the prison every day for hours in case he gets a chance to look upon her. In the end, his twin (who is not his actual twin) loses his head so the lovely couple can live happily ever after.

He saved her from a rabid dog in the Florida Everglades during a storm, only to get bitten himself! She had to kill him when he attacked her.ctgoods2 says,
