ACT I.

SCENE: — The scene is a room in ROBERT STAFFORD'S bachelor apartment. It is furnished magnificently and in splendid taste. The pictures, tapestries, bric-a-brac, etc., evidence the possession of great wealth. The impression to be conveyed is that the room is occupied by a man of discriminating taste and to whom money is no object .

There is an entrance R. 1, another L. 2, and another L. 1, which is from the hall. Back C. are curtains which are drawn later showing the dining room with table set. The time is about half past seven of a summer evening .

The curtain rises on an empty stage. There is a slight pause, then DOOR BELL rings, off L. 1 E. OKU enters L. 2. He is ROBERT STAFFORD'S Japanese servant. He switches on chandeliers and brackets, then crosses the stage and exits to hall as if to admit visitors .
