SCENE: Living room in RAWSON'S Long Island Country House

Between Acts I and II, one hour is supposed to elapse; between Acts II and III, ten minutes.

ACT I

SCENE. — Living room in JUSTIN RAWSON'S Long Island Country house. Late summer after breakfast of a sunny day. The apartment is handsomely and choicely furnished, with a suggestion in everything of dignity and family pride. A very wide porch door opens upon a broad veranda, center, and beyond the veranda is seen an Italian garden and a glimpse of sand dunes and ocean. Hollyhocks look in at the low window, wide open, Left. Between the window and the porch door is a staircase, and close to the staircase a door admitting to domestic offices. Right, another door connecting with the library; a private telephone on the wall near this door .

When the curtain rises ANTHONY and NINA are having an intimate little chat , ANTHONY half sitting on the edge of the table Right, and NINA leaning as enticingly as she knows how on the handle of a carpet-sweeper .

[ANTHONY is a good-looking, polished fellow of twenty-seven, but perhaps you would not trust him. Just now he is whispering something wheedling and pleasant in the girl's ear. She listens with sparkling eyes, roguishly

In the course of this last speech MRS. BUMPSTEAD-LEIGH has descended the stairs as far as the landing and has stood there, unseen by the other ladies, until the suitable moment should come for interrupting their conversation. She concludes that the moment has now come and descends the remaining stairs with cordial, vivid, yet slightly patronizing eagerness . MRS. BUMPSTEAD-LEIGH [ADELAIDE] is an exceedingly British lady still in her early thirties. She is handsome, polished, radiant, electrical, mental; and there is a born domination, a concealed aggressiveness in her demeanor which suggests that it would not be desirable nor perhaps quite safe to antagonize her. You recognize her instantly as a leader, a commander. Gracious, affable always, you sense the iron underneath

embarrassed ].

Note: Contains 14 words in 2 sentences using 61 chars.

The grand manner sits somehow rather grotesquely on MRS. DE SALLE and like her clothes, which are irreproachably elegant, seems not altogether to be hers by original right. Underneath her well-groomed, well-polished impressiveness you might detect an acute, unceasing anxiety, an apprehension of well, I don't know quite what, but something

Their voices are heard outside as they leave the porch . MRS.
