''Scene represents a small room almost poorly furnished. Door at the end, on the right another door, and on the left a balcony. A book-case, a table, an arm-chair. On the table Don Julian's portrait in a frame, beside it an empty frame; both small and alike. On the table an unlighted lamp, the 'Divina Commedia,' open at the Francesca episode, and close to it a morsel of burnt paper. Papers scattered about, and the MS. of a play. A few chairs. Time, day.''

SCENE I

Enter Don Julian. Don Severo and servant below.

. Don Ernest is out?

. Yes, sir. He went out early.

. No matter. We'll wait. I suppose he will be in sooner or later.

. I should think so. Nobody could be more punctual than he.

. That will do.

. Certainly, sir. If you want anything, you'll find me downstairs.
