CHAPTER I
The stage on which we play our little dramas of life and love has for
most of us but one setting. It is furnished out with approximately the same
things. Characters come, move about and make their final exits through
long-familiar doors. And the back drop remains approximately the same
from beginning to end. Palace or hovel, forest or sea, it is the background
for the moving figures of the play.
So Sara Lee Kennedy had a back drop that had every appearance of
permanency. The great Scene Painter apparently intended that there should
be no change of set for her. Sara Lee herself certainly expected none.
