SCENE: Study in a Country parsonage .
TIME: The present .
A winter morning .
The study in a country parsonage. There is a bay window in flat R., showing the yard with fence and trees covered with snow .
The door at L., in flat, opens into a narrow hall — off of which the street door opens .
A door up left opens into the dining room, and one at R., into the Rector's sleeping room .
A large shabby desk is placed sidewise in the window with a rickety revolving chair before it .
The sofa and chairs, awkward and uncomfortable, are covered with horse-hair. There is an oval shaped marble topped table at L. C., with three chairs about it .
The table and several chairs are heaped with newspapers and books. The desk is strewn with writing materials, letters, books, etc. There is a half dead fire in the small fireplace down L. — and the general effect is shabby, neglected and desolate .
It is snowing without and as the characters enter the snow is seen on their clothing .
JANIE is the Rector's housemaid. Her little sunny face smiles upon him and the friends of whom she approves, but frowns with open displeasure upon those she suspects of designs upon the Rector and his household .
She wears a neat red calico dress, an apron much patched, and her hair, brushed as tightly back as possible, is braided and twisted into a large knot from the middle of which dangles a shoestring. On her forehead one small curl paper shows a small desire for beauty and improvement .
As the curtain rises she comes in from the hall, sniffing and shivering with the cold, with a bunch of letters in her hands which she examines curiously — then turning suddenly she rushes back into the hall, calling loudly from the street door .
