SCENE :

The stage represents the yard of a small, shabby farmhouse near Albany, N. Y., on a beautiful evening in early May. At right is the beginning of the apple orchard. The trees are masses of pink and white blossoms .

At right centre a practical tree, in full blossom. Around its gnarled trunk runs an old, unpainted seat, half in ruins .

At back from left to right, runs the shabby unpainted fence. Lilac bushes grow in front of it, partially concealing its bareness .

A gate — with one hinge broken — connects the road beyond with the yard itself. On the other side of this road can be seen a stone wall, and then the tops of more blossoming apple-trees, indicating a sudden depression. Beyond, the lovely rolling pasture country, fresh and green, and through it the road, in the far distance of the violet hills. The left of the stage is occupied by the farmhouse itself — an old-fashioned white shingled affair, with green shutters. It is in bad repair — unpainted and soiled .

The front door, with a small "stoop," is far down — right .

Further up is a side door .

Both doors are wide open — shabby screen-doors on springs slam to as anyone goes in or out. On either side of the front-door are windows, tightly closed, with shades drawn down, to indicate "parlor."

The other windows are open and are covered with torn mosquito netting .

Two of the second-story windows are practical. There are scanty flowerbed between the two doors, — nasturtiums, etc. In the centre of stage is a well, with a bucket standing beside it and a windlass by which to let it down .

Around the well grow purple iris .

The light is of early evening. During the act this deepens into night and finally the stage is filled with moonlight .

At the rise of the Curtain Silas Page is seen sitting on the stoop of the house, reading a book, on the step beside him are several other volumes .

He is a man of fifty — iron-faced, grey-haired, and angular. He is deeply sunburnt, wears old trousers, shirt, suspenders, no collar, and carpet slippers .

He angrily wears steel-rimmed spectacles and chews as he reads .

Within the house, coming from the windows further up, can be heard the rattle of dishes, and a girl's voice softly singing .

(A glow of candlelight appears behind the shade of one of the second story windows. Alan picks a cluster of lilac-blossoms and tosses it against the pane. There is a pause. Then the blind is quickly pulled up and the window opened. Mary is seen in the moonlight. Behind her is the yellow glow of the candle. She has begun to take down her hair.)

THE CURTAIN FALLS .

SCENE .

Seven Years Later. The living-room of Mary's apartment on Riverside Drive. At right — far down — is the door leading to her bed-room. This is set in a doorframe taken bodily from Renaissance Italian palace. The corner — right-back — is spread out into a large, hemispherical recess, raised a step above the level of the stage. In this are four Romanesque windows, with little round glass panes, set in marble frames between columns. Two of them are open. Outside the night is seen — and far away a few electric lights. Below them runs a wide, low window seat, covered with luxurious cushions. At back centre is a large Venetian doorway, with beautiful double doors. Small hall beyond, with bench, coat-rack, etc., and then outside door. Cutting off corner — left-back is the wide entrance to the dining-room, which can be seen beyond. Portieres of brocade flank this entrance. At left — quite far down — is a beautiful carved stone Renaissance fireplace, in which a fire is now burning .

At right — between door leading to bed-room and window-recess — stands a small Louis XIV escritoire, now open. On it a mirror. Half facing the windows is a grand piano, in a case exquisitely painted a la watteau. Above it stands a tall bronze lamp, lighting its keyboard. At its end is a round black lacquer table, containing a Venetian lamp, with shade of gold cloth, books, knick-knacks in gold and silver, etc. By this table are two wonderful black lacquer chairs, upholstered in black-and-gold brocade. To right of doorway at back stands a XIV century Italian prie-dieu in gold and blue. On it is a primitive — Madonna and Child, on background of gold. To left of this doorway is a covered and painted Venetian wedding-chest. Above it hangs another Italian Old Master. By fire — left half facing audience is a great, low couch or divan. It is covered with black-and-gold brocade and is piled with pillows of gold and peacock blue. At its head stands a smaller table, with vase, old silver cigarette box, etc.

The walls of the room are covered with thin gold Japanese tea-paper. They shine like glass. There are a few pieces of ancient tapestry. Above the desk hangs another Old Master. Silver sconces about the room — on either side of doors, etc., — hold burning wax candles. These, the lamps, and the flickering fire make the only light. On the polished floor are great white bear-skin rugs, etc.

About the room — on tables, etc., — are clumps of lilies in tall silver vases. Growing plants fill up the corners of the window recess .

The whole room suggests a luxurious, yet highly cultivated taste .

As the curtain rises Mary is seen, sitting at the escritoire — right — writing a letter. Beside her stand piled up several jewel cases — some large, some small. Mary wears an extremely simple skirt and a plain white shirtwaist. Her dress is in strong contrast to the room in which she sits. She signs her name to what she is writing, blots it, puts it in an envelope, writes something on the outside, and seals it up .

THE CURTAIN FALLS .

SCENE .

Late afternoon — sunlight .

Fourteen years later .

The Governor's room in the Capitol at Albany, late on an afternoon in March. It is a large, imposing, square room, bearing the official stamp. At right is the fire-place. Before it is a plain, wide sofa. At back is a large window looking out over the roofs and spires of the city. At left is the entrance. In the centre, facing door, is a large table-desk and armchair. Hung on the panelled walls are several portraits of former Governors. The whole room suggests the dignity and importance of a great state .

As the curtain rises Winfield Barnes, — now forty-sir years old and the Governor of New York, commanding and powerful, — is discovered standing over his desk. On and beside it are piled up old numbers of magazines, bound newspaper files, pamphlets, new books, etc., — a miscellaneous assortment. He is reading one of the great newspaper files which lies open on the desk before him. After a moment he looks back at the clock on the mantel, then presses a button under the edge of his desk. Scott, the door-keeper appears, left. He is an old Civil War veteran, with white hair .

THE CURTAIN FALLS .

SCENE .

Two years later .

The library of the Barnes' house on Madison Avenue, New York, — the evening of November 2nd. It is a comfortable, sober, busy sort of a room, — suggesting well-organized work. At right is the door leading to the rest of the house. At back-centre is the big fireplace, with two inglenooks (i. e. high benches) on either side of it at right angles. At back, to left of fireplace, is a door leading into the next room, at present used as the stenographer's owce. At left is a big double-window, with heavy curtains. At right of room is a large library table, — with two lamps, pamphlets, piles of papers, etc. With back against this table, facing left, is a big davenport couch, with plain cushions — very inviting. At left of room — in a corresponding position — is a large table-desk, lighted with small reading lamps and with telephone memoranda, letters, files, etc. — everything suggesting a very busy man .

There is a big desk-chair at left of this desk, several other chairs, etc.

The walls of the room are lined with book-cases, containing mainly legal volumes, calf-backs, etc. There are several large, official-looking letter files and card-catalogues in big boxes stuck against the wall in front of the books. Near the desk — left — is a dictaphone machine, resembling a small phonograph. Other suggestions that the room is being used more as an office than as a library .

It is about seven o'clock in the evening .. The lamps are lighted, the fire is burning, and the curtains are drawn .

When the curtain goes up Winfield is sitting at his desk, looking rather tired and very busy, going over his mail. At his right, at end of desk, facing audience, sits Lawrence — note-book in hand. Both are smoking cigars .
