Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Don´t: A Play, in One Act It is blue Monday in the Harper farmhouse sitting room - one feels that as the curtain goes up, and one feels, too, that a gray rain drips round the house unceasingly, even though one cant see it through the windows. The room is large and would probably he rather cheerful on a bright day, though there are a lot of useless bric-a-brac about, and gloomy-looking enlarged portraits on the walls. These relics of her early housekeeping days are carefully preserved by Mrs. Harper, partly because they remind her of her husband, who has been dead three years, partly because the care of them has become a habit with her. The widowed Mrs. Harper, however, seems the most cheerful person in the room. One feels that she gets a real satisfaction out of her service for her home and children. She sits near the window with a big mending basket at her side, peering closely at her work in the gray light, as she sets a patch on a pair of trousers. One wonders why she doesn´t light a lamp, until one notices the red rose-decorated monstrosity on the center table. It is evidently more for looks than illumination, and probably is another of the treasured wedding gifts. At the right in a carved morris chair sits Uncle John Gregory, his feet on a low stool and a shawl folded about his shoulders. He does not look much like an invalid, however, though his face is rather pale and has a tense expression, and he drums with nervous fingers upon the chair arm. The general sleekness of his appearance, the nose glasses, and his white hands show that he is lately from the city. Near the middle of the stage on a little old-fashioned settee is sprawled the ungainly figure of a girl about fourteen years of age. Her head is propped up on one arm of the settee and her long legs draped awkwardly over the other as she reads a book.
