Characters:
Martin Keville, a Farmer
Nora, his Wife
Peter, his Son
Father Moore
Mrs. Carolan, a Neighbour
The scene is the living-room in the farmhouse of the Kevilles. As the curtain rises Mrs. Keville is seen knitting in the glow of the turf fire. The moonlight is gradually rising and flooding the room like a tide. Peter Keville, her son, is at the window, his arms leaned on the sill, deep in thought. His mother looks at him from time to time. There is a hint of anxiety in her questioning silence.
