Publisher's Synopsis
Scene-Jane's house on Gramercy Park. A living room with doors R. and L. Entrance U. R. Curtains U. C., showing an alcove which looks out on the Park. Dill, in velvet knickerbockers and jacket, is arranging service for tea. Jack, a young man of twenty, has entered. He wears green kid gloves and a green Alpine hat to match. Jack. So you're getting married, Dill? Dill. I am, sir. Have you any objections to offer? Jack. None whatever, Dill. But why tea at this hour? It's only just past lunch. Dill. It's the very latest thing, sir; all Americans are doing it now. It's to keep up with the London time, sir, and there it's tea-time already. (Examines a crumpled manuscript with his back to Jack.)
