Excerpt from Through the Sweet Briars: A Drama in Three Acts (The scene is in the citting room in the home of Aunt Martha. The furnishings are quaint, but comfortable. A rag carpet covers the floor. On the wall are chromo portraits of George and Martha Washington, a large old-fashioned mirror and a Home Sweet Home motto. At center, back of stage, is a cupboard, shelves above behind glass doors, drawers below. On the shelves can be seen old-fashioned dishes, a jar of jam, another of stick-candy, a large plate of fruit, and a standard cake dish, on which is a layer cocoanut cake. At exact center of the room is a small round table on which is the "Family Bible" and photograph album. At the left of the room, a little to center is a small stand on which rests a large pendulum clock. In front of clock, on a crocheted yarn mat, is a basket of piece-work. In the right back corner is a what-not on which are quaint ornaments, such as a china dog, a majolica vase containing a boquet of "everlastings", another vase with a bunch of peacock feathers, two or three daguerreotypes, and a basket of shells, starfish, bright stones and other trinkets which might have been picked up at sea. Toward the front of the stage at the left is a child's rocking-chair in which sits an old-fashioned doll with "china hair." A copious armchair and a high-backed rocking chair are on either side the center table, a little back. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
