Trifles
by Susan Glaspell
SCENE: The kitchen is the now abandoned farmhouse of JOHN WRIGHT, a
gloomy kitchen, and left without having been put in order funwashed pans
under the sink, a loaf of bread outside the bread-box, a dish-towel on the
table other signs of incompleted work. At the rear the outer door opens
and the SHERIFF comes in followed by the COUNTY ATTORNEY and HALE.
The SHERIFF and HALE are men in middle life, the COUNTY ATTORNEY is a
young man; all are much bundled up and go at once to the stove. They are
followed by the two women-the SHERIFF's wife first; she is a slight wiry
woman, a thin nervous face. MRS HALE is larger and would ordinarily be
called more comfortable looking, but she is disturbed now and looks
fearfully about as she enters. The women have come in slowly, and stand
close together near the door.
