ACT I

The nursery.  Half-past two in the afternoon.  A cool, delightful white room, with a frieze of children playing in the ocean spray; shelves of bright-colored books on the walls, and the months of a large calendar by Elizabeth Shippen Green framed underneath.  There is a deep bow-window at the back; the principal door is at the Left, and a smaller one on the Right.  Toys of all sizes, for all ages, are scattered about with a holiday air.  There is a sofa on the Right and a hobby horse on the Left.
