ACT II. Scene : The Alhambra corridor adjoining the parlors and the picture gallery at Mrs. Delafield's. One week later. The scene represents an apartment of Moorish architecture, built after the pattern of a room in the Alhambra. Large arches hung with portières leading to rooms, R. and L. Windows of Moorish glass above and at back, those at back leading to terrace showing a night view of New York City after a snowstorm. The snow still falling at intervals. Hanging Moorish lamps shed a soft, mellow light throughout the room. Off through entrance, L., is seen a flood of light as though coming from the brilliant parlors beyond. Through the archway, R., is seen the picture gallery from which a soft light proceeds. From a niche below the entrance to the picture gallery there comes into the room the yellow light as from a fire. Through the windows at back is the dull gray of a snowy night. But little furniture must be used, the room presenting a picture of simplicity combined with the charm of oriental splendor. As the curtain rises, low strains of music are heard as from stringed instruments, guitar, mandolin, and harp . Discovered : Mrs. Delafield appears, L., as coming from the parlors and speaking to someone inside . Kate .

ACT III. Scene : Library in Mr. Cohen's house. Same night as the reception. The midnight meeting. The scene represents a magnificent, massively furnished library. On the L. are broad steps and balustrade leading to a landing, where are seen large double glass doors, opening into a room above. The portion of this room seen when the doors are opened is in marked contrast to the library. A hanging lamp in the room, dimly lighted. A door, L.1.E., with portières leading to a more private part of the house. A door, L.2.E. On the R. are large doors opening into a hallway which stops at the doors. In the hallway a somber light is burning. From the doors, R. to R.C. at back, are windows through which is seen a low balustrade and trees completely shutting out the view of the street beyond, with the exception of a portion of one house, which is seen through the branches of the trees. At the back of the room, running obliquely to the R. is a large fireplace. Above the fireplace is a niche in which is set a stained-glass picture of the Magdalen at the feet of the Savior. The picture is not discernible at first, that part of the room being in the shadow. A soft red glow proceeds from the fire in grate. The hanging lamp sheds a subdued light over the room. A lamp with a dead green shade stands turned down. Everything outside is covered with snow. The storm has ceased. The clouds have broken in places, showing small portions of a cold moonlit sky, a dull blue light pervading the atmosphere outside. Let the house lights be arranged before the curtain rises, every light possible being turned out. There is heard the distant sound of a bell striking twelve o'clock. At the fifth stroke a low weird strain of music is heard. At the eighth stroke the curtain is raised, being timed so as to reveal the entire stage picture on the twelfth stroke. The music continues. The doors of the room, R.1.E., are opened, and Sam with two books comes down into the library. He is no longer in evening dress. He goes to the large lamp, L., and is turning it up as Mr. Cohen enters, R. He appears as though he has just left his cab, having on his hat, overcoat, and gloves. He leaves the door, R., ajar .
