The scene is laid in the library of the Perkins mansion, on the
afternoon of the day upon which an amateur dramatic performance is to
be held therein. The Perkins house has been given over to the
dramatic association having the matter in charge. At right of
library a scenic doorway is hung. At left a drop-curtain is
arranged, behind which is the middle hall of the Perkins dwelling,
where the expected audience are to sit. The unoccupied wall spaces
are hung with paper-muslin. The apartment is fitted up generally to
resemble an English drawing-room; table and chair at centre. At rear
stands a painted-canvas conservatory entrance, on left of which is a
long oaken chest. The curtain rising discovers Mrs. Perkins giving a
few finishing touches to the scene, with Mr. Perkins gazing curiously
about the room.
Perkins. Well, they've transformed this library into a scene of
bewitching beauty--haven't they? These paper-muslin walls are a
dream of loveliness.
