ACT I
_A charming room in the Tillmans' house. The walls are white woodwork,
framing in old tapestries of deep foliage design, with here and there
a flaming flamingo; white furniture with old, green brocade cushions.
The room is in the purest Louis XVI. The noon sunlight streams through
a window on the left. On the opposite side is a door to the hall. At
back double doors open into a corridor which leads to the ballroom.
At left centre are double doors to the front hall. A great, luxurious
sofa is at the left, with chairs sociably near it, and on the other
side of the room a table has chairs grouped about it. On floral small
table are books and objets d'art, and everywhere there is a profusion
of white roses and maidenhair fern._
_In the stage directions Left and Right mean Left and Right of actor,
as he faces audience._
_Three smart-looking SERVANTS are peering through the crack of the
folding door, their backs to the audience. The pretty, slender MAID
is on a chair. The elderly BUTLER dignifiedly stands on the floor.
The plump, overfed little HOUSEMAID is kneeling so as to see beneath
the head of the BUTLER._
HOUSEMAID. [_Gasping._] Oh, ain't it a beautiful sight!
BUTLER. [_Pompously._] Not to me who 'ave seen a Lord married in
Hengland.
MAGGIE. Oh, you make me sick, Mr. Potts, always talking of your English
Aristocracy! I'm sure there never was no prettier wedding than this. Nor
as pretty a bride as Miss Jinny.
BUTLER. [_Correcting her._] Mrs. Haustin!
HOUSEMAID. She looks for all the world like one of them frosted angels
on a Christmas card. My, I wish I could 'a' seen her go up the aisle
with the organ going for all it was worth!
MAGGIE. It was a _beautiful_ sight!
