ACT I

SCENE: The drawing-room of the Randolph home. A door at L. 1 E. and another at L. 3 E. At R. 1 E. is a door, not used, in which is set a large plate-glass mirror. The entrance from the hall is an archway in the rear, right-hand corner. At the rear L. of C., are French windows, standing wide open and giving upon a comfortable veranda leading out to a lawn, beyond which is a spacious glimpse of cultivated landscape. A cuckoo clock hangs on the wall at rear. There is a grand piano in the rear, right-hand corner; upon it stands a silver frame holding a photograph of Stuart Belden. A small bench backs up against the piano. At L. C. is a table; against this, facing the audience, is backed a low, backless settee long enough to seat three persons. Chairs are at rear and R. and L. of the table. The curtains are of chintz. The floor is of hardwood covered with a handsome Persian rug. As the time is summer the decorations should avoid heaviness. An electric chandelier hangs C. and well down. An electric switch at rear C. controls the chandelier. Fireplace and mantel at L. between the two doors .

TIME: Early afternoon of a warm, sunny August day .

AT RISE: DICK enters through centre windows at back from right, crosses to table left upper, mixes highball, drinks. Enter NORA through arch with candlesticks .
