PLAY IN FIVE ACTS. Act First. (At Werle's house. A richly and comfortably furnished study; bookcases and upholstered furniture; a writing-table, with papers and documents, in the centre of the room; lighted lamps with green shades casting a dim light. In the background, open folding doors with curtains drawn back. Within is seen a large and elegant room brilliantly lighted with lamps and branching candlesticks.

On the left, in front, a fireplace with a glowing coal fire, and farther back a folding door leading into the dining-room?)
