Cast : (In the order of their appearance)

ACT I., SCENE 1.- Christopher Jefferson 's Office at Spring Bank Mill. A large window overlooks the yard where the tall chimneys of the Mill can be seen. The office is plainly furnished with the usual reference and letter files hung round the walls and a speaking-tube lies on the roll-top desk. It is eleven o'clock on a warm July morning and Stephen Anthony is seated at the desk busy with the morning's mail.

ACT I., SCENE 2.-The same as in Scene 1, two hours later. Jefferson is busy writing at his desk.

ACT II.-The same-seven years have passed and the office now bears a more prosperous appearance. The speaking-tube has been replaced by a telephone. Joseph Forshaw, now a salesman, enters.

ACT III.-The drawing-room at Jefferson's house, handsomely furnished in a manner combining comfort with taste. It is shortly after 6.0 p.m. the same evening.
