Red light, not too strong.
V. CHARITY
A ragged boy, barefooted and clasping a wornout broom, sits huddled
on the ground left, but facing right. His arms are folded and rest on
his knees, and his head is bent down upon them, so as to hide his face.
A girl, in nun's costume, is touching him on the shoulder, and
apparently proffering help and sympathy.
VI. SINGLE LIFE
Scene, a tolerably well-furnished but untidy sitting-room, with numerous
traces of bachelor occupation, such as crossed foils on the wall, a
set of boxing-gloves under a side table, boots, hats and walking-sticks
lying about in various directions. On one corner of the table some one
has apparently breakfasted in rather higgledy-piggledy fashion. Near
the table sits a young man, with a short pipe in his mouth and one
foot bare, while he is endeavoring to darn an extremely dilapidated
sock.
VII. THE SAILOR'S FAREWELL
Scene, a cottage home. A young man, in sailor costume and with a bundle
on his shoulder, stands with his right hand on the latch of the door,
right center, but looking back with a sorrowful expression at his
wife--personated by a young lady in short black or blue skirt, red or
white blouse, and white mob-cap--who sits with her apron up to her
eyes in an apparent agony of grief.
