-Devlin: A man of forty, the lover of Rebecca. At beginning, he seems to be a friend of her, asking things about her lover and her life, like if he’s interested on her happiness. But he hides a secret, and don’t seem to take care to Rebecca.

Rebecca and Devlin are talking in a house on the country, and they’re talking about the lover of her. It seems that he has her lover meddlesomed, but she dosen’t take care, and says that he’s doing it because he loves her. The plot continues with a dialogue within the two, although only he asks question to her and he answers it or change the theme of conversation or repeat something she said before. Meanwhile they’re talking, Devlin says that really, she is in loved with him because they share the same musical likes and that he takes care of her. Finally, when she starts remembering something that happened in the past with a woman and her baby, and then, we discover that Devlin is the lover of her and she seems to be a baby that has disappeared and the guilty maybe is him.

The plot take place on a house in the country, but the writer doesn’t concrete what country is, in a room where is a chair and a table, nothing more. The time is in actuality, when the play appears to the public.

The author uses short statements, with some pauses within them. But ocassionally, the character explains in a long discuss about something. Apart from that, makes a conversation within two persons, but it seems like only one of them is "active" with frequent questions about her lover, her life and everything, and she seems to be a little imprisoned by his questions.

The author doesn’t give external information like weather, and he only center his play in the dialogue within the two main characters. With that, it creates a special interaction within they, and not other objects can disturb the mind of the reader/audience from them.
