A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The old grey oak-panelled lofty Library at Wilbury House, Middlesex, SIR HUBERT WARES country residence. The ceiling is richly beamed. In the back wall are three windows of uncommon height, reaching to the floor; the centre window, which alone is used for the entrance or exit of the characters, being less high than the one on either side of it. It leads out upon a garden terrace, beyond which there is a beautiful view of park land. High up in the right wall there is a wide single door leading to the hall. Into this door handsome books are let. An imposing fire-place is below the door. The left wall is decorated almost entirely with books, the shelves of which are within the thickness of the wall. The luxurious furniture, for the most part Jacobean, is placed as follows: In the centre a large writing-table, with its ends up and down the room. It is broad enough for a blotting-pad to lie on either side. A telephone receiver stands upon it. On the right and left of this table are handsome writing-chairs. At its foot, facing the audience, is an artistic low-backed sofa. Farther right a smokers table stands, and below the fire-place an arm-chair. Other odd pieces of sumptuous furniture are here and there. The whole appearance of the room is suggestive of wealth and good taste, and is typical of a fine old English mansion. It is the hot afternoon of September the lolh. N.B. Throughout this play the expressions uright and uleft mean the actors right and left.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
