Description By Mordaunt Shairp. "depicts the corruption of a young man by his effete, domineering mentor. Although homosexuality is never mentioned and barely hinted at, there is no doubt about the nature of Dulcimer's hold over his protege. In Shairp's play, the most ominous signs of homosexuality are expensive taste, bitchy wit, and - worst of all - a penchant for arranging flowers".
