The Kiss


            
            
            
            
            
             Scene: A shadowed room with its curtains drawn against the sunlight, a smoldering fire with an uncertain glow to it. Brantain, a not so handsome, innocent, and enormously rich man sitting in one of the shadows, glancing deeply at the woman sitting in the firelight. Nathalie a very pretty brunette who eagerly was waiting for a proposal glancing into the eyes of Brantain.
             Scene I.
             Brantain: I enjoyed the occasions that gave me the opportunity to accompany you. You have made my life very complete.
             Nathalie: (stroking her cat on her lap, thinking to herself what his wealth could give her) And I have also enjoyed your presence in my life.
             (During a pause between their talks of the last tea and the upcoming receptions, a tall handsome fellow whom they both new very well, strides into the room and presses an ardent, lingering kiss upon her lips not realizing she had company, finding himself standing in the middle) .
             Brantain: (slowly rising, with an amused yet confused, upset look upon his face) I-believe. (Stammering) I see that I have stayed too long. I---I had no idea---that is, (clutching his hat with both hands) I must wish you good-by. (Exits).
             Nathalie: (rising quickly yielding her hand out to Brantain, not trusting herself to speak).
             Harvy: Hang me if I saw him sitting there, Nattie! I know it's deuced awkward for you. But I hope you can forgive me this once "this very first break. Why, what's the matter?.
             Nathalie: (furiously) Don't touch me; don't come near me. What do you mean by entering the house without ringing?.
             Harvy: (coldly) I came in with your brother, as I often do. We came in the side way. He went upstairs and I came in here hoping to find you. The explanation is simple enough and ought to satisfy you that the misadventure was unavoidable. (Softly) But do say you forgive me, Nathalie.
             Nathalie: Forgive you! You don't know what you're talking about. Let me pass.
