A plan of the stage of the New Theatre, London, set for the play is given at the end of the book.{[*]}
Scene.—The Hall of Mulberry Manor. All the furniture looks very comfortable. Through the window can be seen a glimpse of a snowy garden; there is a log fire. The light is a little dim, being late afternoon. Seated on the table swinging her legs is Joyce, she is attired in a fur coat and goloshes, very little else can be seen, except a pink healthy looking young face. Sylvia is seated on the Chesterfield R. She is twenty-one and exceedingly pretty. It is about five days before Christmas.
