Excerpt from The Comedies of Harold Chapin A low, rectangular room: its chief furnishing a large chintz-hung bed. Three small, square, chintz-curtained windows break the far wall into equal panels of flowery wall-paper. The door is up R. Below it is a white enamelled wardrobe. The bed's head is to the wall L., the configuration of which (it projects between two alcoves) places that article of furniture almost in the centre of the room, and in a very visible position. Below the bed against the wall (half in the alcove) is a table supporting a few books, papers, hairbrushes, fruit, a vase of flowers, smelling-salts, and a jug of lemonade - iced and tinkly - and glasses. There are, of course, other things on this bedside table - such as a patience pack, a fountain pen, and some photographs in frames - but I need not enumerate them - unless, perhaps, I mention the tin of Brand's essence - open on a plate, with a spoon in it.
