About this book

Eight o'clock on a summer evening, some years after the Great War, finds Lord William Dromondy's Park Lane mansion preparing a dinner that an anti-sweating meeting will follow. In the wine cellar a young girl, Anne, questions a footman about the foundations of the house, and later scenes move to old Mrs. Lemmy's room in Bethnal Green and the ante-room of the hall. Galsworthy called this play, which runs continuously from eight to half past ten, an extravagant one.
