1927 Ernest Benn LTD. Contemporary British Dramatists Vol. LIV.

Set in Kherivan, in the 1920s, at the far edge of "European influence". Tensions between the diplomats, European developers and local people; and, on a personal level, between the two women, a former lover, and a husband. When one of the women is apparently kidnapped, confusion between the political and the personal abounds.
