The Easiest Way

Laura Murdock keeps her eyes on the trail from Manitou Springs. A “real man” is coming—and he is a broke newspaper reporter, not the wealthy friend who has plans for her future.

On a grand ranch above Colorado Springs, as the canyon twilight deepens, Laura faces two very different offers. Willard Brockton promises a comfortable home in New York and an important part in a new show; Laura is waiting for John Madison, whose prospects are far less certain—and whose proposal may change everything. Eugene Walter’s early-twentieth-century drama sets the pull of theatrical ambition and material security against Laura’s first conviction that she is in love. She knows what comfort costs, but can she build a life with a man who has nothing to offer but himself?
