THE LONELY WAY
THE FIRST ACT
The little garden attached to Professor Wegrat's house. It is almost surrounded by buildings, so that no outlook of any kind is to be had. At the right in the garden stands the small two-storied house with its woodwork veranda, to which lead three wooden steps. Entries are made from the veranda as well as from either side of the house. Near the middle of the stage is a green garden table with chairs to match, and also a more comfortable armchair. A small iron bench is placed against a tree at the left.
Johanna is walking back and forth in the garden when Felix enters, wearing the uniform of a uhlan.
JOHANNA (turning about)
Felix!
FELIX
Yes, it's me.
