SCENE: The sitting-room in Ossory's house in Grosvenor
Square.
TIME: Midday.
The persons ave in correct morning dress, except the invalid
GRANDFATHER, who ts in a@ scarlet dressing-gown, with
gold embroidery, and CARR, who affects a pseudo-Bohemian
extravagance. He wears a low collar, a very big bow-
tie of gorgeous colours, a pale yellow waistcoat, a rich
violet lounge suit with braid, patent leather boots, pale
blue socks. But the refinement and breeding of the man
ave never in question. His hair ts reddish, curly,
luxuriant. He is clean-shaved, and wears an eye-glass
with a tortoiseshell rim.
Topp has a face of keen pallor; he is dressed in black, with
a flowing black cape, black motor-cap. He gives the
impression of great age combined with great activity.
