Play Synopsis
Four older women meet - some have lost their husbands by death, some by divorce. They discuss their lost loves and how they deal with their place in life and society. Some like to be involved in their children's life, others like to keep a distance. Some lament for their deceased husbands, while others long for a love they couldn't have.
Mrs. Blanchard says
I had been married only four months when I heard of my husband's infatuation for a married woman in our own set. He had married me only, it seems, to allay suspicion. Of course, I see now that I should have divorced him then and there, but I was very young and it wasn't being done in those days. I those hours of my disillusion a dashing young lieutenant understood my despair and planned to arouse my husband's jealousy and so bring him back to me--He succeeded in arousing my husband's jealousy but meanwhile I had fallen in love with the lieutenant-- I harbored a secret thought--a terrible thought that my husband might die, that I might be free to find the other again, that then he should not see an old wrinkled face after he had cherished the memory of my youth. It's humorous in a way, isn't it? That when women like you and Mrs. Dorchester are widowed, I had to put up with a husband who just wouldn't die?
