THREE AUGUSTS.
A WAR-TIME DRAMA.
ACT I.
A room in Mary Gray's flat in the West End, August, 1914.
There is a door R., leading into the hall. There is also a door L., but it only leads into a cupboard that Mary really needs.
Marmaduke Beltravers, a well-dressed man of thirty-five, is standing by a small table pressing his suit (his matrimonial suit, of course), but without success. His bold black eyes are flashing. Mary's lovely face (by an ingenious manipulation of the limelight) is quivering.
