Aria da Capo

Excerpt from Aria Da Capo: A Play in One Act
The curtain rises on a stage set for a Harlequinade, a merry black and white interior. Directly behind the footlights, and running parallel with them, is a long table, covered with a gay black and white cloth, on which is spread a banquet. At the opposite ends of this table, seated on delicate thin-legged chairs with high backs, are Pierrot and Columbine, dressed according to the tradition, excepting that Pierrot is in lilac, and Columbine in pink. They are dining.
columbine: Pierrot, a macaroon!I cannot live without a macaroon!
Pierrot: My only love,
You are so intense!... Is it Tuesday, Columbine? -
I'll kiss you if it's Tuesday.
