THE MAN IN THE STALLS


_The sitting-room of a little flat in Shaftesbury Avenue. At back
is a door leading to the dining-room--it is open, and the
dinner-table is in full view of the audience. To the extreme
right is another door, leading to the hall._

_The place is pleasantly and prettily, though quite
inexpensively, furnished. To the left, at angles with the
distempered wall, is a baby-grand piano; the fireplace, in which
a fire is burning merrily, is on the same side, full centre. To
the right of the door leading to the dining-room is a small
side-table, on which there is a tray with decanter and glasses;
in front of this, a card-table, open, with two packs of cards on

Notka biograficzna

Mary Johnston (November 21, 1870 May 9, 1936) was an American novelist and womens rights advocate. The daughter of an American Civil War soldier who became a successful lawyer, Mary Johnston was born in the small town of Buchanan, Virginia. A small and frail girl, she was educated at home by family and tutors. She grew up with a love of books and was financially independent enough to devote herself to writing.

Various, or Various Production, is an English dubstep/electronic music duo formed in 2003. The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7 records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8]
