Synopsis
Excerpt from Plays, Vol. 2 Scene. - Mrs. Baxter's sitting-room. A pleasant, well-furnished room. French windows open to the garden, showing flower-beds in full bloom, it being summer time. As the audience looks at the stage there is a door on the left-hand side at the back, and from the door a few stairs lead down to the room. Nearer and also on this side is a fireplace. Against this same wall is a flower-pot on a table containing a plant in bloom. There is plenty of comfortable furniture about the room. It is evening after dinner. Lamps are lighted and the windows closed, Mr. Baxter, a man about forty, is seated near a lamp reading "Scribner's Magazine." The door opens and Miss Roberts comes in. She is a pretty, honest-looking English girl about twenty-four. She comes towards Mr. Baxter. Miss Roberts. Mr. Baxter - are you very busy? Mr. Baxter. No, Miss Roberts. Miss Roberts. I want to speak to you. Mr. Baxter. Yes. Won't you sit down? Miss Roberts. Thank you. (She does so.) We shall soon be beginning the summer holidays, and I think after this term you had better have another governess for the girls. Mr. Baxter. You want to leave us? Miss Roberts. I don't want to. I shall be very sorry indeed to go. You and Mrs. Baxter have always been so kind to me. You never treated me like a governess.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often humorous world of human relationships, particularly within the confines of a well-to-do English family. Through the vivid and witty portrayal of characters like Dulcie Baxter, a woman whose tendency toward inactivity and dependence on others is described as ΓΆβ Ε"molluscry,ΓΆβ Β the author explores the dynamics of family life, the nature of love, and the subtle yet pervasive ways in which character traits can shape one's actions and impact those around them. The reader is drawn into a world of social commentary, where class and convention play a crucial role in defining individual behavior, and where the clash between personal desire and societal expectations creates a humorous and thought-provoking tension. The book invites the reader to consider the interplay between individual character and the forces that shape our choices, ultimately offering a timeless reflection on the complexities of human nature.
