Mary Stuart
Excerpt from Mary Stuart: A Play A small library in Andrew Boyd's house in Edinburgh. In the far wall is a fireplace, and to the right of it a high folding window. Above the fireplace is a large oil portrait of Mary Stuart. It is late on a summer evening, and the window is open, giving on to a garden terrace, under which the town lies in the moonlight. Andrew Boyd, who is seventy years old, sits at a small table with a young man, John Hunter.

A Versailles Christmas-Tide
" Look, Christophe, it snowed... My sister took my hand and kept it in hers. We remained glued to the window, drunk with surprise, laughing to hold our breath.
