Pillars of Society

Henrik Ibsen

(SCENE.–A spacious garden-room in the BERNICKS’ house. In the
foreground on the left is a door leading to BERNICK’S business room;
farther back in the same wall, a similar door. In the middle of the opposite
wall is a large entrance-door, which leads to the street. The wall in the
background is almost wholly composed of plate-glass; a door in it opens
upon a broad flight of steps which lead down to the garden; a sun-awning
is stretched over the steps. Below the steps a part of the garden is visible,
bordered by a fence with a small gate in it.
