Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seashell a Comedy in One Act Scene. - The rotunda of "The Seashell" Eelgrass Harbor. Time. - Any summer morning, early. (The curtain rises on the hotel "rotunda," a rather large name for the cheerfully cheerless space, flooded with the morning sun, in front of the desk, rectangularly occupied with four basket-bottomed rocking-chairs that are more blessed to give than to receive. The chairs face the two windows at the left, and, fairly close to the windows, leaving the center free, have their backs to the desk at the right. It is early morning, and only the bell-boys and the Head Clerk are in sight, but probably sausages and buckwheat cakes are aromatic in the offing. The Head Clerk, his coat off, a towel round his throat, is shaving himself before a mirror at the desk; the bell-boys, on a settee under the garish clock and the lurid life-insurance calendar at the back of the stage, in the center, are studying Cicero and Plane Geometry, respectively, with might and main. The usual door of entrance and exit is between their settee and the desk: there is another door this side of the windows at the left, in front, opening to the verandah.) Archer (as he wipes off the razor, pulls the towel from his neck, puts on his coat, and disposes of the shaving implements). It´s lucky for you fellows you don´t dance. If you had to man the pumps every night the way I do, I guess you wouldn´t be on deck any earlier than I am. Now and then I got a dance with Miss Warriner, but dancing with the other women was like rolling milk-cans.
