"[...] JILL. Oh! Rolf doesn't talk to him, his mouth's too large. Have you ever seen it, Dodo? HILLCRIST. Of course. JILL. It's considerable, isn't it? Now yours is--reticent, darling. [Rumpling his hair.] HILLCRIST. It won't be in a minute. Do you realise that I've got gout? JILL. Poor ducky! How long have we been here, Dodo? HILLCRIST. Since Elizabeth, anyway. JILL. [Looking at his foot] It has its drawbacks. D'you think Hornblower had a father? I believe he was spontaneous. But, Dodo, why all this--this attitude to the Hornblowers? [She purses her lips and makes a gesture as of pushing persons away.] HILLCRIST. Because they're pushing. JILL. That's only because we are, as mother would say, and they're not--yet. But why not let them be?[...]".

Excerpt from The Skin Game: A Tragi-Comedy Hillcrist's study. A pleasant room, with books in calf bindings, and signs that the Hillcrists have travelled, such as a large photograph of the Taj Mahal, of Table Mountain, and the Pyramids of Egypt. A large bureau [stage Right], devoted to the business of a country estate. Two foxes' masks. Flowers in bowls. Deep armchairs. A large French window open [at Back], with a lovely view of a slight rise of fields and trees in August sunlight. A fine stone fireplace [stage Left], A door [Left], A door opposite [Right]. General colour effect - stone, and cigar-leaf brown, with spots of bright colour. [Hillcrist sits in a swivel chair at the bureau, busy with papers. He has gout, and his left foot is encased accordingly. He is a thin, dried-up man of about fifty-five, with a rather refined, rather kindly, and rather cranky countenance. Close to him stands his very upstanding nineteen-year-old daughter Jill, with clubbed hair round a pretty, manly face.] Jill. You know, Dodo, it's all pretty good rot in these days. Hillcrist. Cads are cads, Jill, even in these days. Jill. What is a cad? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
