Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Circle: A Comedy in Three Acts The Scene is a stately drawing-room at Aston-Adey, with fine pictures on the walls and Georgian furniture. Aston-Adey has been described, with many illustrations, in Country Life. It is not a house, but a place. Its owner takes a great pride in it, and there is nothing in the room which is not of the period. Through the French windows at the back can be seen the beautiful gardens which are one of the features. It is a fine summer morning. Arnold comes in. He is a man of about thirty-five, tall and good-looking, fair, with a clean-cut, sensitive ace. He has a look that is intellectual, but somewhat bloodless. He is very well dressed. Arnold. [Calling.] Elizabeth! [He goes to the window and calls again.] Elizabeth! [He rings the bell. While he is waiting he gives a look round the room. He slightly alters the position of one of the chairs. He takes an ornament from the chimney-piece and blows the dust from it.] [A Footman comes in. Oh, George! see if you can find Mrs. Cheney, and ask her if she´d be good enough to come here. Footman. Very good, sir. [The Footman turns to go. Arnold. Who is supposed to look after this room? Footman. I don´t know, sir. Arnold. I wish when they dust they´d take care to replace the things exactly as they were before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
