Explore "Captain Brassbound's Conversion" by George Bernard Shaw on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Torrid forenoon filtered through small Moorish windows high up in the / adobe walls of the largest room in Leslie Rankin's house. A clean / cool room, with the table (a Christian article) set in the middle, a / presidentially elbowed chair behind it, and an inkstand and paper ready / for the sitter. A couple of cheap American chairs right and left of the / table, facing the same way as the presidential chair, give a judicial / aspect to the arrangement. Rankin is placing a little tray with a jug / and some glasses near the inkstand when Lady Cicely's voice is heard at / the door, which is behind him in the corner to his right.
LADE CICELY. Good morning. May I come in?
