ACT III. — The garden again; late afternoon of the next day .
ACT FIRST
The garden of PETER DALE, in northern California. On the right is visible the end of a greenhouse, beside which vines are growing. Through the open door are seen tables, reaching beyond sight; on these are low boxes filed with seedling plants. Around the corner of the greenhouse, up scene, a path leads to a gate, beyond view, and a roadway, also unseen but indicated by its border of tall eucalyptus trees, in the right background .
The groundplan of the scene is filled with beds of bright flowers — poppies, amaryllis, and other varied species — through which a broad central path leads back to another which crosses it in the middleground; this is bordered behind by tall cactus plants in bloom, and here the central path ends. Beyond the cactus bed, an orchard of young fruit trees stretches green toward dull-golden mountains and bright azure sky. The immediate foreground is a wide path which divides, on the left, around the circle of a pool, with lilies. Beside the broad, cement margin of this pool, a curved bench stands beneath ilex trees. Behind this bench the path leads off, left .
It is early afternoon. Shimmering sunlight intensifies the colors of the flowers. Midway the central path, the still figure of PETER DALE stands contemplating. He is dressed in a gray swallow-tail suit of antedated style. Under a wide palm-leaf, Chinese hat, pointed at the crown, his short, white hair accentuates the ruddy sunburn of his shaven face and fine-cut features. With both hands folded over a large blank-book, he gazes, in quizzical quiet, at a flower beside him. From nearby, on the right, the thin, sweet voice of a child is heard lilting to an improvised melody:

PETER turns toward the sound, with a pensive smile,over which comes a shade of sadness; then, turning again to the flower, he takes from, his pocket a piece of white string, squats on one heel in the path, and ties the string to the plant's stalk, jotting a note in his book with a pencil .

Around the corner of the greenhouse, the tall, spare form of MARK FREEMAN comes slowly striding. He is a young man, about twenty-five, powerful m build, sinewy like a mountaineer. His strong face is sun-tanned; his brown arms are bare below the rolled sleeves of a red shirt thrust into hand trousers. On his shoulders — with one hand clutching a starfish, the other MARK'S collar — a little girl rides pig-a-back, her bright curls fluttering close to his tumbled, dark hair. Arriving in the foreground , MARK swings the child down upon her feet by the greenhouse door, against which he places her empty hand. Feeling the door-frame and the vines with a quick touch, she stands a moment, groping, while MARK gazes down at her. Then confidently she walks, with outstretched hands — MARK following her — to the edge of the pool, where she sits and plays with the starfish. By her actions it is evident that she cannot see . PETER rises, and the two men look at the child with tenderness .

[PETER turns away, left. Glancing affectionately toward MARK, and shaking his own left hand playfully with his right, he goes off . MARK, taking a pronged iron from beside the greenhouse, begins to follow him, but stops at the head of the central path to look at a bed of seedling cacti. Here, with his back turned, he stoops down and begins to uproot the seedlings with the iron prong. From the right is heard the click and closing of a gate, and soon, along the middleground path, there enters a man of about thirty-five, simply dressed in gray, with a straw Panama hat. He is quiet-mannered, and wears glasses, behind which his eyes twinkle pleasantly. He is about to pass MARK, but looking closer, touches him on the shoulder

By the greenhouse path enter two men. One, of middle height, vividly handsome, restless in gesture, of about forty years, is dressed elegantly in riding clothes and carries a short whip. The other, stocky, sun-burned, about fifty, is dressed plainly and smokes a cigar. The older man, walking close in front of the younger and unconsciously retarding his steps, is speaking earnestly, in a downright, uneducated manner

[WESTGATE strolls up the greenhouse path, and disappears. Without looking up , MARK continues his weeding. Through the greenhouse door , MANA DALE springs into the garden, half running — her arms filled with brilliant chaparral. She is hatless, and sun-browned: a strong girl, in her early twenties, free and joyous in her bearing. She is dressed for horseback. Approaching behind MARK, she tosses over him the mass of wild-flowers and grasses

He leads her by the hand into the greenhouse. Outside, is heard the querulous, slightly husky voice of a woman, calling: "Ignatius! Ignatius!" Soon after, on the greenhouse path , MRS. HENSHAWE enters. She is a woman past sixty, of handsome features, penetrating eyes and forceful presence, but dowdy in dress, and fidgety in her slow movements. Her outward appearance conveys a crass contrast of qualities. She wears a dull-colored gown, beneath a duster of ample dimensions. On her head is an ultrafashionable hat, swathed in a light-green automobile veil, and in her white-gloved hand is a purple parasol. Close behind her follows a small, trig, business-like woman of about thirty, with twinkling eyes: MISS WINCH. She also is dressed for automobiling, but in plain, practical garb. In her hands she holds a small camera, which she is focusing upon MRS. HENSHAWE.]

He disappears. The gate clicks . MARK stands with closed eyes and clenched hands. Outside, right, the clatter of horses' hoofs sounds harsh on the stone court, then muffled on the roadway. Meantime, in the left middleground , PETER DALE enters quietly. Hearing the hoofs , MARK starts, and runs up the central path, meeting PETER. There, clutching PETER'S arm, he points along the row of eucalyptus trees, staring. The sound of galloping grows fainter in the distance .
CURTAIN.
ACT SECOND
Among the cypresses on the California coast. A cliff, overlooking the sea. The scene is sparsely overshadowed by somber wraiths of trees: writhing boughs and contorted skeleton trunks, twisted slantwise from the shore, from which the stricken grove seems to be fleeing in rooted frenzy. Through the dun-green foliage and stark gray silhouettes, the setting sun reddens the purple Pacific between fog-banks. On the left, a jutting elevation of the cliff rises above the scene's level, and scrambles in sharp, rocky heaps beyond sight, leaving a rough-sided stone niche, on the ground level, shut off from the sea and the winds. By this stands a boulder; nearby, lies the log of a fallen tree. On the right, clutched and half concealed by the cypresses, the porch and squat roof of a small bungalow blend with the surroundings .
From the left enters a woman, wearing a gray automobile veil. She is followed, with quick steps, by a man dressed in a chauffeur's uniform. The woman looks about her furtively; goes to the porch and tries the door; then peers through a slit in the shade-drawn window. The woman is MISS WINCH.

Visibly a tranquil reverie steals over her. Laying an armful of the gathered dead wood near the rocky niche, she stands — with her back to the boulder — looking under the boughs toward the paling sunset. Silently where she is gazing the shadowy figure of MARK emerges and stands silhouetted . MANA'S lips part, and she reaches one hand toward him. Thus, motionless, they stand gazing at each other — shadow confronting shadow. Only the sound of the sea is faintly heard. Suddenly the voice of JULIAN snaps the silence
Coming from the house, holds up a little box

He turns slowly and, gathering up more fuel, moves behind the rock. In a moment his stooping shadow is cast, by a flickering glow, across the scene. The glow increases, and smoke drifts upward along the stony ridges on the left. On the right , MARK enters from the cypresses, and stands gaunt in the firelight. Deliberately, he crosses toward the rock, and pauses near it. Suddenly the stooped shadow of JULIAN lengthens to full height, and his voice comes sharp from behind the rock

As he reaches the porch, the candle-light from the window is obscured by a shadow, which emerges from behind the porch pillar. Before him stands MARK who has entered from the darkness beyond . JULIAN pauses and draws back, breathing hard. Then he speaks huskily

With a low, moaned cry , MANA sinks on the ground, cowering. The fire goes out in darkness. Faintly, from the right, a whistle sounds; from the left, a far motor-horn. Below the cliff, dully, the surf beats .
CURTAIN.
ACT THIRD
The garden: late afternoon. Long shadows of eucalyptus trees fall across the flame-colored flowers. Far on the mountains the slant sun-beams sharpen the ridges of the golden canyons .
In the central path stands ROSALIE, alone. She seems bewildered. She is listening. From the left rises a droning of men's voices in song .
The sleepy sound draws nearer and, along the middleground path, laborers enter in file. They are Mexican half-breeds and Japanese coolies, bearing on their backs brush-heaps of small trees. Some of these have fallen and clutter the paths. Passing through the flowers, they disappear, right, the Mexican workmen murmuring their stuttered song, the Japanese in stolid silence .
While they have been passing , ROSALIE has picked up a small broken branch, and stands fingering it, as she tries to hum the men's minor-keyed song, which dies away beyond the scene .
From the right enters a young woman, dressed as a trained nurse. She has a hushed, impersonal air. She comes toward ROSALIE.

SPOFFORD is divided in his attention between a bundle of newspapers, which he holds under his arm — reading from one which is open — and his solicitude for MRS. HENSHAWE. Together they pass slowly along the middleground path

They go out. On the path behind the bench MARK enters, followed soon by PETER. On his entrance, there is evident in MARK'S face and movements a new and feverish energy, controlled but burning inward. Pausing in the path, he breaks suddenly a flower from its stalk and mechanically tears its petals to pieces, while his eyes search the garden . PETER enters slowly, holding in both hands his inverted straw hat, into which he looks down pensively

They go out, by the foreground path, left. From the left middleground , SPOFFORD enters, looks about, and passes off, right, round the green-house. Presently the tall cacti in the background are parted, and MANA emerges. She is dressed in a simple, flower-like gown of gray, and comes slowly down the central path to the pool. Here for a moment she stands silent and rigid, then sinks to a crouching posture on the margin, staring in the water. Behind her, from the left foreground , PETER enters, sees her and approaches quietly. Bending over, he touches her with a light caress, and speaks low
