Excerpt from The Return to Mutton
Scene: - A living room. It is a wet November evening. John and Jane have just finished dinner. This is the room which they have inhabited for the eight years of their married life. It is a place which has grown with them. It was not arranged at one fell swoop. It is no choice product of the skilled decorator's hand, - a bandy-legged Chippendale turns shudderingly from its neighbor, a jovial, fat and plebeian mission chair. And yet, the room, over-crowded with an ill-assorted medley of trash, has associations and atmosphere. It has been acquainted with passion, ecstasy, anguish; and thence those discordant descending scales, - annoyance, irritation, contempt. Now, alas, it has settled down. One fears it is not a stranger to that bitterest of tragedies, - boredom.
The pictures are a large photogravure of Corot's "Ville D'Avray" a Childe Hassam, a colored print of Rossetti's "Lilith," a mezzotint of Lord Mansfield, and, - almost dominating the room, - a very large post-impressionist canvas, - a brilliant piece of color.
As for the arrangement of the room, there is a door at the back, standing open. Beyond, one sees a corridor and stairway. At the right is a fireplace. A fire is burning, but listlessly. Between the fireplace and the door at the back is a window looking out upon the street. The shade is part way up.
