Excerpt from Bits of Background, in One Act Plays The scene is the living room in the home of an actress, a famous one, so the room is well furnished with taste and charm. It is essentially a becoming background although just now, a rather sombre one. At least Will Annersley thinks so. He enters, pulls up the shades, letting in the sunshine, sits on the couch, disarranging the pillows, drags out the newspapers which were neatly piled on the table, in short upsets everything. He is probably privileged because he is delicate and the only son of a highly emotional, adoring mother. Suddenly Léontine, Mrs. Annersley's maid, comes bustling in. In the glare of the light she looks her fifty years, though her hair is still black, her eyes dark and snapping. At sight of the room she is much perturbed and therefore overbold. Léontine Ah, Monsieur, it is too bad! This room - the look of it! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
