Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ship: A Play in Three Acts The time is a Saturday afternoon in autumn, and the scene is laid in John Thurlow´s country-house, chosen by him because it is easily accessible from his shipyard at Biggport. The room is handsomely furnished, without being conspicuously artistic, for the Thurlows are people of taste, conventional, perhaps, but not without the signs of well-marked individuality. Prominently displayed in the room are models of ships, one of a sixteenth-century man-of-war in full sail, the other of a quadruple-screw, coal-fed Atlantic liner of the type of the "Titanic" The pictures are mainly of industrial subjects, and Mr. Thurlow is proud, and justly proud, of his excellent collection of etchings by Mr. Muirhead Bone, some of which represent scenes in the Biggport shipyard. If we could see into the dining-room, we should discover large frescoes in the modern manner, showing the building of a ship from the laying of its keel to the time when it is ready to take its trial trip. The long windows leading to the garden are open, because the day is unexpectedly mild, and Old Mrs. Thurlow, who is seated by the fire, likes the windows to be open whenever possible.
