Excerpt from Out of the Question: A Comedy
Miss Maggie Wallace and Miss Lilly Roberts.
The Ponkwasset Hotel stands on the slope of a hill and fronts the irregular mass of Ponkwasset Mountain, on which the galleries and northern windows of the parlor look out. The parlor is furnished with two hair-cloth sofas, two hair-cloth easy-chairs, and cane-seated chairs of divers patterns; against one side of the room stands a piano, near either end of which a door opens into the corridor; in the center of the parlor a marble-topped table supports a state-lamp of kerosene, - a perfume by day, a flame by night, - and near this table sit two young ladies with what they call work in their hands and laps.
