Excerpt from Three PlaysAs the curtain rises, Marian is discovered, seated in the armchair. She is a young woman of twenty seven. Although at one time beautiful, her body is now wasted by disease. The face is oval and of sallow complexion, save for a hectic flush on either cheek. The eyes are dark and unnaturally bright, the lips thin and compressed. Her black hair is parted in the middle, and hangs in two plaits over her thin shoulders. A few stray wisps curl limply on her forehead and neck, damp with the sweat of the consumptive. She wears an old red flannel kimono, a dark skirt, black cotton stockings, and red felt slippers with pompoms. Her sleeves are rolled back to the elbows, showing her wasted arms and the transparent hands are folded in her lap. She is leaning back against the cushions with her head on the pillow, her whole attitude being one of extreme exhaustion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
