The sound of the waves and of distant dance music. ACT FOUR - SCENE II: Library, Brown's house, hours later. The same night.SCENE--The same as Scene Two of Act Three--the library of William Brown's home. The mask of Dion stands on the table beneath the light, facing front.

The two draftsmen are bent over their table, working. ACT THREE - SCENE III: Sitting room, Margaret's home. That night.SCENE--Is the same as Scene One of Act One--the sitting-room of Margaret's home. It is about half an hour after the last scene. Margaret sits on the sofa, waiting with the anxious, impatient expectancy of one deeply in love. She is dressed with a careful, subtle extra touch to attract the eye. She looks young and happy. She is trying to read a book. ACT THREE - SCENE II: Library, Brown's home. That evening.SCENE--The same as Act Two, Scene Three--the library of Brown's home about eight the same night. He can be heard feeling his way in through the dark. He switches on the reading lamp on the table. Directly under it on a sort of stand is the mask of Dion, its empty eyes staring front. ACT THREE - SCENE I: Cybel's parlor. Seven years later. Dusk.SCENE--The drafting room and private office of Brown are both shown. The former is at left, the latter at right of a dividing wall at center. The arrangement of furniture in each room is the same as in previous scenes. It is ten in the morning of a day about a month later. The backdrop for both rooms is of plain wall with a few tacked-up designs and blue prints painted on it. ACT ONE - SCENE II: Billy Brown's office. The same afternoon.SCENE--Billy Brown's Office, at five in the afternoon. At center, a fine mahogany desk with a swivel chair in back of it. To the left of desk, an office armchair.

ACT TWO - SCENE III: Library, William A. Brown's home. That night.SCENE--The library of William Brown's home--night of the same day. A backdrop of carefully painted, prosperous, bourgeois culture, bookcases filled with sets, etc. The heavy table at center is expensive. The leather armchair at left of it and the couch at right are opulently comfortable. The reading lamp on the table is the only light. ACT TWO - SCENE II: Drafting room, William A. Brown's office. That evening.SCENE--The drafting room in Brown's office. Dion's drafting table with a high stool in front is at center. Another stool is to the left of it. At the right is a bench.

Seven years later. Dusk.SCENE--Cybel's parlor--about sunset in spring seven years later. The arrangement of furniture is the same but the chair and sofa are new, bright-colored, costly pieces.
