The opening
SCENE.
An Island off the West of Ireland.
(Cottage kitchen, with nets, oil-skins, spinning wheel, some new boards standing by the wall, etc. Cathleen, a girl of about twenty, finishes kneading cake, and puts it down in the pot-oven by the fire; then wipes her hands, and begins to spin at the wheel. Nora, a young girl, puts her head in at the door.)
NORA. In a low voice.—Where is she?
CATHLEEN. She’s lying down, God help her, and may be sleeping, if she’s able.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
