About this book

The Foundations is called an extravagant play and is by John Galsworthy. The scenes include the cellar at Lord William Dromondy's in Park Lane and the room of old Mrs. Lemmy in Bethnal Green. The persons of the play include Lord William Dromondy, M.P., Little Anne, the Press, old Mrs. Lemmy and the Duke of Exeter.

James is asked what class hatred is, and says that a lot o' people thought when the war was over there'd be no more o' that. James says footmen were to ha' been off, but Lord William was scared they wouldn't get jobs in the rush. Lemmy says down with the country, down with everything, and to begin again from the foundations.
