The Intruder - Maurice Maeterlinck

Excerpt from The Intruder: The Blind; The Seven Princesses; The Death of Tintagiles
[A gloomy room in an old chateau. A door on the right, a door on the left, and a small secret door in one corner. At the back, stained-glass windows, in which green is the dominant color, and a glass door opening upon a terrace. A big Dutch clock in a corner. A lighted lamp.]
The Three Daughters.
Come here, grandfather. Sit under the lamp.
The Grandfather.
It seems to me it is not very light here.
The Father.
Shall we go out on the terrace, or shall we stay in the room?
The Uncle.
Would n'tit be better to stay here? It has rained all the week, and the nights are damp and cold.
The Eldest Daughter.
The stars are out, though.
