What is The Carfitt crisis and two other stories : And 2 other stories about?

From the Dust Jacket: J. B. Priestley writes: These two short novels, originally conceived in dramatic form, are entertainments embodying some serious ideas. The Carfitt Crisis has a contemporary setting. A new kind of man arrives to act as a sort of butler to some conventional, fairly affluent people who are facing a crisis. Because of his self discipline and training, his lack of vanity and pride, this new man has certain unusual powers. In spite of its picturesque historical setting, The pavilion Of Masks is a satirical comedy on the theme of self-deception. All deceive themselves except the professional charlatan, who can manipulate them because he does not deceive himself. Between these two high comedies I have sandwiched a short horror story. Underground which appeared in the 1974 Christmas Number of the Illustrated London News.
