The scene is the entrance hall, used as a living-room, in a country mansion, during the year 1780. Martha was born of parents both in the employ of the Lorlbone family, and she herself lived in their service all her life. During the years of widowhood, she has been there in the capacity of housekeeper. Martha enters the room, muttering, followed by Lucy dressed for a coach journey, elegantly and in perfect taste.
