Excerpt from The Trysting A Farce in One ActThe scene is a room just of the lounge of a hotel in the country. However, this is not a country hotel, but, on the contrary, one of those roast and elaborate houses of entertainment that af fect an expensive simplicity in what is called the colonial manner, and ask to be visited - by those financially able to do so - in the general interest of health and the outdoor life. The wall at the back of the stage is broken only by symmetri cally spaced pilasters of an ivory color; each of the side walls is broken in the same manner; but here the pilasters help to frame two rather broad entrances, one at the right and one at the left, and beyond theseentrances, on both sides, we have glimpses of the two corridors that lead to them. There are a few old prints - or new prints from old plates - upon the walls; and there are flowering plants on stands in the cor ners. The furniture consists of some chintz co'vered easy-chairs, a light wicker settee with a chintz cushion and a cvalance that reaches the floor; and there are two wicker tables with a vase, of jonquils upon each of them. In the rear ri ht-hand corner of the room, near the stand of plants, there is a tropical-looking chair.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
