A One-Act Play by ANTHONY P. WHARTON Cast :
THE Seem is laid in the second floor back room of a tenement house in Simon Street,
Whitechapel. It is dingy and squalid in the extreme, and the furniture is of the most meagre and primitive kind. William Laffen is discovered sitting at the table cleaning a pair of boots, and partaking of a rough meal, by the dim light of a tiny fire and two candle-ends, which are stuck into the necks of empty bottles.
