The Girl From Nowhere (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Girl From Nowhere
Managers assure those of us who try to write plays nowadays that we must lay our scenes in well-to-do circles if we wish to attract an audience.
The scene before us now has few recommendations, either as a romantic or a tragic background. It is not quite wretched enough to suggest dark deeds; it is not nearly old enough to convey a hint of mystery it is merely the back parlor of a London lodging-house Of the meaner kind.
On a certain murky day in March it lay bare to the eye Of anyone who was desirous of exploring.
The street of which it formed a narrow section was small and dreary. The front parlor window of this particular house was discreetly veiled with curtains which had once been white. Between them stood an artificial aspidistra in a ginger-colored pot, envied by some of the other dwellers in the immediate neighbor hood.
