ACT I
The Hall — used as a library and living-room — of the Grey homestead, in a suburban town of Massachusetts. Through an open door and casement window at back is visible an apple orchard, in full bloom, with a distant vista of an old wooden structure shaded by elms. At the right of centre, a staircase ascends to a landing, which leads to inner rooms, right. A window, at back, lights the landing, which is separated from the hall by a slender railing and by curtains between the woodwork. At left and right, down stage, doors. At right, a fireplace, above which hangs a large diagram map. On the mantel shelf, a clock. Beneath the landing, a low desk, littered with papers. At left centre, an ample table. Under the casement window, at back, and left, book shelves. Near the newel-post of the stairs, a small table on which are a vase and a phonograph. At right, a settee. The remaining furniture is quietly tasteful and old-fashioned .
ELLIOTT GREY is sitting at the desk; MORRIS is standing near the door. The former is dressed in plain, unministerial garb — a quiet, everyday working suit; the latter wears clothes which suggest a pronounced exotic taste .

Exit MORRIS out of doors . ELLIOTT starts to follow, but pauses, biting the tip of his pen-holder. The door, right, slowly opens again, and there enters a subdued, neat little woman, with smooth brown hair, growing white about the temples. She comes forward hesitatingly, holding the fingers of her left hand in her right, as in habit. This posture she alters occasionally, to stroke pensively downward the front of her dress

They go into an inner room, left. After a pause, the door, right, is opened, and MILDRED enters. She is dressed in a simple morning-gown, and moves lightly across the room. She lifts a sewing-bag from the settee and takes it to the table, where she sits. Behind her follows ISABELLE, dressed in a gown of charm, symmetry and distinction. She pauses, with a half-studied, half-artless pose of young-girlishness

CURTAIN.
ACT III
Night: The room is lighted by lamps and the glow from a wood fire in the fireplace . MILDRED and ELLIOTT are discovered, and for some moments nothing is said . MILDRED is seated on the rug before the fire; ELLIOTT stands by the desk . MILDRED is dressed in a splendid black gown, with train, low neck and short sleeves; she wears one flaming red rose and her hair is arranged with striking tragedy-queen effectiveness. At the moment of discovery she is seated upon her long train, bending over the open dress-suit case, in and about which are piled sundry volumes, some open, others closed, with bookmarks. These volumes she is putting back in the suit-case; as she does so, she scans the marked pages hastily, and makes memoranda with a pencil upon a large pad in her lap. Meantime, at the desk , ELLIOTT is solemnly engaged in loading two pistols. From a small tin box he lifts cartridges and inserts them gingerly, one by one, making various aims and passes with each pistol, fixing his attention — with muttered ejaculations — upon a central spot in the rug
As he begins to load the second pistol
