Speaking of Silence (or Agnes and Otto) by Robert Hartwell Fiske

This is a Vocabula Book. Speaking of Silence (or Agnes and Otto), a play in two acts.

The plot is but scant. Agnes and Otto, octogenaries, and man and wife, who, though they live in the same house, have not, we soon realize, seen, much less spoken to, each other in many, many months.

Agnes, believing she is soon to die, writes Otto a note asking him to visit her. She does not want to be alone when she dies. She wants his company and whatever comfort he may be able to give her. But comfort Otto seems unable to offer.

Cover: Le Harpist (artist unknown).
