Mr. Pell, the director, asks her to act in the Christmas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eplays at the Castle, where she is to be the guest of the Duchess of Sloden. Mrs. Yeo immediately builds a three-story \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eromance centering on Mr. Pell, whose interest in \"Jess\" she ascribes to but one cause. \"Jess\" explains that Mr. Pell \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eis not a man, but a \"producer,\" who persistently ignores the fourth dimension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The fourth dimension...?\" inquires Mrs. Yeo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There are only three sides to the stage, aren't there? The missing side is the fourth dimension. In the sense I \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003emean, that missing side includes everything beyond the footlights, and that is the side which Mr. Pell ignores. He \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003edoesn't ignore it, collectively, as an audience.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStep by step, Jessica Yeo advances until she captures London. Meantime she has married Cherrington, a playwright of \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eunusual merit, whose love for her is so great that he finds himself merged in his wife's triumphs, with the result \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethat his own genius for creative work begins to languish. He goes away to work in the country, falls ill, and the \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003einevitable results; Jessica finds that the fourth dimension, in her life at least, cannot be ignored—that life, love, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eand her husband are all that really matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA clever tale with many glimpses behind the footlights; bright, spirited action and great variety.","brand":"Leila's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082099081456,"sku":"2940013006089","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013006089_p0.jpg?v=1763575700","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013006089","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
