Published in November 1914, as the Great War was beginning, this short play in three scenes watches men of power waiting on news, bargaining and manoeuvring while the fate of whole peoples hangs on their choices. A financier named Grosvenor frets and promises rewards, and the play asks who truly bears the guilt when war breaks out.
