Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Caesar's Wife a Comedy in Three Acts, Vol. 1
When the curtain rises the room is empty, the blinds are down so as to keep out the heat, and it is dim and mysterious. A servant comes in, a dark-skinned native in the gorgeous uniform, red and gold, of the Consular Agent's establishment, and draws the blinds. Through the windows is seen the garden with palm-trees, oranges and lemons, tropical plants with giant leaves and beyond, the radiant blue of the sky. In the distance is heard the plaintive, guttural wailing of an Arab song. A gardener in a pale blue gaberdine passes with a basket on his arm.
