Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Knitting Club Meets or Just Back From France: A Comedy in One Act
Scene. - Rosamond Allen's luxuriously furnished drawing-room. A tea table at one side; exits hack and R. Time, the present.
(Curtain rises disclosing Rosamond putting finishing touches to room.)
Rosamond (looking at clock). I do hope every one will be prompt, so we can get a lot of knitting done. Sometimes I wonder if we wouldn't get more accomplished if each of us stayed at home and worked quietly by ourselves. We talk so much - and eat so much! - at these meetings. By the way, has Norah brought in enough teacups? (Surveys tea-table.)
(Bell heard. Slight pause; then enter Norah, hack.)
Norah. Mrs. Kent, ma'am.
(Draws aside for Eleanor's entrance.)
Rosamond (cordially, coming forward). Oh, Eleanor, I'm so glad you've come early! (Eleanor returns her greeting coldly, and crosses room. Rosamond, stopping Norah as she goes out, hack.) Norah, have you arranged the knitting display in the library, as I said?
Norah (pausing in doorway). Yes, ma'am.
Rosamond. And that last package - that came this morning. Did you open it and put the things with the rest?
Norah (hesitating and glancing at Eleanor). I don't think the last package was meant for the knitting display, ma'am.
