Excerpt from Typhoon His father never really forgave him for this undutiful stupidity. We could have got on without him, he used to say later on, but there's the business. And he an only son tool His mother wept very much after his disappearance. As it had never occurred to him to leave word behind, he was mourned over for dead till, after eight months, his first letter arrived from Talcahuano. It was short, and contained the statement We had very fine weather on our passage out. But evidently, in the writer's mind, the only important intelligence was to the effect that his captain had, on the very day of writing, entered him regularly on the ship's articles as Ordinary Seaman. Because I can do the work, he explained. The mother again wept copiously, while the remark, Tom's an ass, expressed the emotions of the father. He was a corpulent man, with a gift for sly chafiing, which to the end of his life he exercised in his intercourse with his son, a little pityingly, as if upon a half-witted person. Macwhirr's visits to his home were necessarily. Rare, and in the course of years he despatched other letters to his parents, informing them of his successive promo tions and of his movements upon the vast earth. In these missives could be found sentences like this The heat here is very great. Or: On Christmas day at 4 rm. We fell in with some icebergs. The old people ultimately became acquainted with a good many names of ships, and with the names of the skippers who commanded them - with the names of Scots and English shipowners - with the names of seas, oceans, straits, promontories - with outlandish names of lumber ports, of rice-ports, of cotton-ports - with the names of islands - with the name of their son's young Woman. She was called Lucy. It did not suggest itself to him to mention whether he thought the name pretty. And then they died.

Excerpt from Typhoon: A Play in Four Acts Scene: Paris. Sitting-room of Tokeramo's flat, richly furnished, but several Japanese objects contrast oddly with the ordinary French furniture. At the spectator's right is a folding door which leads into the hall and the outer door of the flat. Glass has been let into the panels of this door, so that without casting a shadow upon the panels no one could approach it from the outside. Beyond the door a large French window with curtains and a blind, leading into a balcony; in the window there hangs a Japanese wind-bell, which tinkles when the breeze stirs it. In the centre of the back wall is a curtained picture of the late Mikado. Facing the window, at the spectator's left, an archway hung with heavy curtains leads into the bedroom. When the curtains are parted a large bed may be partly seen. Below this archway is another door leading into the interior of the flat. The chief piece of furniture in the room is an imposing writing desk with a reading-lamp on it; in the window is another table with a large deed-box on it. Sofa, chairs, etc. Several bowls and vases containing flowers, not arranged in close clumps but in the more sparse Japanese manner.
