This play was written about 1908.

“In the winter of 1916-17 Eva Gore-Booth, while recovering from an illness, began to make pen and ink drawings of various scenes, writing the words of the play on each sheet. She had never had any lessons and drew from her own pleasure only. Twelve of these drawings, some of them unfinished, are reproduced here in the hope that they may be of interest to those who value her work.”
