Excerpt from Husbands on Approval: A Comedy in Three Acts

Scene - The breakfast room in the Glover house. Table at right centre; doors right and left; a wide door at back, centre, looks out upon the staircase. The room is richly furnished. A luxurious apartment in a large, old-fashioned mansion on Beacon Hill, Boston.

When the curtain rises, mrs. Glover, rita glover, and sam glover are at the table, talking, having finished their breakfast. Sam, a good-looking chap of nineteen, has a smoking jacket over his collarless shirt and wears a pair of dilapidated slippers. He is reading a paper. Mrs. Glover, a comely widow of forty, is in a corsetless negligee, and bustles round the room, setting things to rights. Rita, a pretty girl of eighteen, has her hair in curlers her nose is red and shiny, and she wears an ill-matched kimono and skirt, and a pair of old un-blackened shoes. She is also reading - a magazine.
