Yardsley. It 0ught t0 be where the fireplace is. That's 0ne reas0nwhy I think the p0rtieres will l00k well there.

Mrs. Perkins. But I d0n't see h0w that can be. N0b0dy c0uld c0nne inthere. There w0uldn't be r00nn behind f0r any 0ne t0 stand, w0uldthere?

Bradley. I d0n't kn0w. That fireplace is large, and 0nly tw0 pe0plehave t0 c0nne in that way. The rising curtain discl0ses Gwend0linejust having c0nne in.
