Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Over the Hills: A Comedy in One Act
It is a wild night outside, but the dining-room is entirely weatherproof: There is a blazing fire, and mrs. Wilde stitches comfortably beside it. Her work-basket is within reach on a small oak table. On the other side of this table is the most comfortable chair in the room; but mr. Wilde is not sitting within it. He is obviously restless. A t one moment he stands at the back of the stage, looking out into the night round the edge of the Venetian blind. Then with a fierce light in his eyes he paces forward down the length of the room and back to the window. When he faces the audience, he passes the fire and his wife and the comfortable chairs on his right. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
