Excerpt from $1200 a Year: A Comedy in Three Acts Scene I: Living room in the Stoddard flat, College Hill, a residential section adjoining the campus of Dinsmore University, Wickley, Pennsylvania. The family consists of Paul Stoddard, instructor in Economics at the University, and his wife, Jean. They have been married three years, during which time Stoddard's salary has been twelve hundred a year. The apartment consists of a living room, bed room, and kitchen. The living room is furnished shabbily with furniture reminiscent of his bachelor days together with a few more recent acquisitions. At right, against the wall, is one of those cheap, golden-oak, upright pianos which she hates. At the back are low bookshelves fairly well filled. The most conspicuous object in the room is a portrait hanging above the bookcases. It is the portrait of Governor Gamaliel Winthrop, one of the early governors of Massachusetts. He is dressed in the Puritan costume and is of a stern and rock-bound countenance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
