Scene : The fields a short distance outside of Appomattox Court House. On L., is a high bank over which we get an impression of the open fields beyond. Down L., C. of stage, a brook runs, winding around from R. and disappearing under the footlights, L.C. To R. of the brook stretches a piece of sand and gravel, beyond which, back and R., is brush and trees, giving an idea of wooded land to R. The L. side of stage is slightly higher than the R. and is the deep side of the brook. Between the L. edge of the brook and the high bank is a level stretch of turf. A steep path runs up C. of the bank, L. C. is a large sycamore tree in full bloom. The roots of the tree project over the brook and make a natural bridge, which almost, but not quite, spans the stream. Up R. is a broken-down U.S.A. transport wagon. At rise a gray mist is over the stage and the murmur of the brook is heard. As the dawn begins to break, a bugle call is heard, off R., Reveille. By this time the mist has almost lifted. Bushes, L. Fringe along the path of entrance. Large clump at turn of path, large clump between path and wing. Stump at end of lower L. wing. Clump set in roots of tree (big tree) works in about the roots. Two distant leaning saplings along L. of stream. R., two saplings by leaning tree at upper R., another at far edge of inclines. Bush at R. of path where Agatha enters. Large bush in upper wheel of wagon. "Warning" Reveille from Union forces at R., offstage. It continues into the act, even after curtain is up . Discovered : Corporal de Peyster enters cautiously from R., peering off toward the L., where the Confederate forces are lying. Stops by brook, puts down his gun, and is about to take canteen from shoulder, when he stops as if he heard a sound, off L. Seizes gun, but does not rise. After leaning back and looking round, he is reassured no one is coming, and putting down gun, starts to fill canteen. Zack Biggs, a lean, lank Virginian, comes running on from L.3rd. The big tree is between him and de Peyster, whom he does not see until he stumbles as he nears brook. They see each other at the same moment, and each tries to hide behind the tree and cover the other with his gun. They peer first one side and then the other, until their eyes meet in front of the tree . Zack . With a short laugh and bantering tone

ACT III. Light Plot : Open with only the blue fourth border. This stands until Agatha enters with tray, when it comes up to A. Slow sunrise with amber fourth border. When Arthur enters, saying: "Call father, sister — call father," sneak up amber foots within a quarter full . Hand Properties : For Mrs. Warren, hand lamp, lighted. Glass of wine. For Sappho, tray with Madeira. Three wine glasses. For Miss Hatton, night candle. For Agatha, tray with teapot, filled. Cup and saucer. Plate. Spoon. Two tea crackers. Pass to give Burton . Scene : Same as Act II. Before dawn of the following morning. The whole aspect of the room has been changed, from that of the home, to that of the army headquarters. Up L., arms are stacked. The table is covered with maps and writing materials. The fire is burning low, the candles are almost gone, and the lamp is turned low. A night lamp burns in the hall, not the lamp seen in the previous act. Through the window, back C., instead of the rose garden, is seen part of a hurried camp: muskets stacked, and a camp fire before which men are lying on the ground sleeping, rolled in blankets. The windows at the back are open, and outside the moonlight and firelight contrast with the dim light inside. This gives an exterior effect at first, as the lights are stronger outside than in the house. Large stand, lamp and candle burning on large table, R.C. Small lamp on mantelpiece, turned low. Discovered : A Soldier is lying half in the door, I.R., asleep on his gun. General Warren at table, R.C., writing. Tom Dabney sleeping on gun, L.L.C., standing. When curtain is well up, a low, tired sigh from Dabney. After a count of five, Biggs appears on porch outside, whistling, walking to the L. Warren . Turning to Zack
