Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wheel: A Play in Three Acts Scene: The drawing-room in Colonel Dangan´s bungalow at Jagpur, in the plains. The walls are in white distemper; the pictures principally regimental and shooting groups. There is an engraving of Queen Victoria in a gilt frame, also similarly framed engravings of the King and Queen. Above the rosewood cottage grand piano, which stands in the left corner of the scene, is hung a large photo of Watts´ "Paolo and Francesca" in a wide green wood frame. In the centre is a wide opening, now closed by wooden shutters. On the right is a half door, with a space above and below for the passage of air; on the left a smaller half door. The doors and shutters are hung with striped muslin purdahs. The furniture is bamboo upholstered, or with loose cushions. On the right front a settee; near the piano a small table. A lamp on the piano, a standard lamp in the right corner, both lighted. From the ceiling hangs a red punka, and the rope by which is it worked disappears through a hole in the back wall. When the curtain rises, the punka is swinging, but getting slower and slower. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
