The Well of Loneliness
Authorship not stated
You play Stephen Gordon, seven, taught to ride at Morton Hall as though for a cavalry review while your mother watches with careful unease. You love Collins, the maid who never treats your name as an explanation, until she is hurt in a quarrel she will not explain, and dismissed from the house overnight. Through a library door you overhear your mother say your father wanted a son so badly he taught you to become his answer. He is about to tell you why he chose your name.
