Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wrong Side of Eighteen: A Comedy in One Act Scene: Dining room of Mrs. Sherman's midwestern farmhouse, along toward twilight of an autumn day. The room has two doors: one at left, leading to the kitchen and the back door, and the other at right leading to the living room and the upstairs. A curtained window, with neat, inexpensive white draperies, is up center. The room is plainly furnished, neat, and orderly. In the center is a medium-sized, rather old-fashioned dining table, with a cloth on it, partly set for the evening meal. Around the table are placed three straight-backed chairs. A similar chair is near the door at left, a little down stage from it, and two more chairs of the same kind are up right and left respectively. Up extreme left, against the back wall, stands a cupboard or old-fashioned sideboard, on which are arranged a few dishes. Up extreme right, near the right wall, is a mantelshelf, on which is a clock facing left in such a manner that its face is not clearly visible to the audience. On the shelf also is an oil lamp with a large white globe. On the wall above the shelf is a mirror of medium size. On the wall on the down-stage side of the right-hand door, hangs an old-fashioned telephone instrument. A little up stage from left door, on the wall hangs a row of hooks or wall hatrack. Inexpensive rag rugs in cheerful patterns are on the floor, and a few appropriate pictures are on the walls. Just outside left door, the corner of a kitchen table is barely visible to the audience. As it is well along toward twilight, the footlights and the flood lights are somewhat subdued, and as the play progresses, they become dimmer and dimmer until the point at which the stage becomes almost dark and Mrs. Sherman lights the lamp.
