Excerpt from Honor: A Family Drama in Three ActsThe study of Colonel Wendell's home on the north shore of Long Island during the month of October. Book cases, etchings and engraved portraits surround the room. In front is a massive library table on which stands a vase filled with roses, an electric lamp, Shakespeare and Tennyson in morocco, and current monthlies. To the left are French windows, with a small writing desk between. Farther back is a door opening into the hall. In the back are folding doors opening into the drawing-room, with pedestals and busts of Longfellow and Whittier on either side. In the right corner is a leather settee. Farther front is an open fireplace, and a mantel which supports a large Swiss clock and silver candelabra. A newly lighted log fire is blazing on the hearth. Heavy chairs of appropriate design and Persian rugs complete the furnishings. The time is eight o'clock in the evening. Catherine is reading Lord Byron's poetry by the electric lamp.
