C. Some of these presents must be such as are referred to in the dialogue. Evening. Lights for ordinary family life. Discovered: Mrs. Ruth Winthrop, sitting before fire down R. She has a doll, partly dressed, in her lap, and is working on its little bonnet. She is singing a lullaby, as she works, when the curtain rises. Mrs. Ruth. There, Miss Dolly! (Trying bonnet on the doll and holding it up) you will have a beautiful little mother tomorrow, and I shall be your great-grandmother. Your name is to be "Ruth" - after me - how do you like it? Your little mother has a very large family already, but I am sure she will love you more than any of the rest. (Kisses the doll.) Lie here, my pet. (Holding the doll to her breast.) You must go to sleep at once, for mother Rosie will be up very early in the morning. (Enter Douglas up L.) H-s-h. (Sings as at rise of curtain., petting the doll.) Doug. (At the back of her chair, leaning over her.) Playing with a doll, mother? Mrs. Ruth. Douglas! (Looking up and laughing quietly.) Yes. I had forgotten my gray hairs. I was a child again, like Rosie. We old folks grow young again in our grand-children. Doug. You´ve never grown old, mother. You´ve always been living the same sweet loving life. Mrs. Ruth. (With a quiet laugh.) Leave any woman alone with a doll five minutes and she will be holding it to her heart without knowing it. Doug. (With a sigh, up C.) Ah! mother, I´m afraid some women outgrow it. Where is Constance? Mrs. Ruth. In her room. (Rising.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
