Scene: Seven years later.
The sitting room of Mrs. Dion Anthony's half of a two-family house in the homes section of the town -- one of those one-design districts that daze the eye with multiplied ugliness. The four pieces of furniture shown are in keeping -- an armchair at left, a table with a chair in back of it at center, a sofa at right. The same court- room effect of the arrangement of benches in Act One is held to here. The background is a backdrop on which the rear wall is painted with the intolerable lifeless realistic detail of the stereotyped paintings which usually adorn the sitting rooms of such houses. It is late afternoon of a gray day in winter.
