Charlotte Frances Payne-Townshend and George Bernard Shaw, 42, were married in 1898. She had just nursed him back to health after a severe accident. She is gracious, completely self-effacing, smart, Irish. Her principal achievement has been to translate most of the plays of Eugene Brieux-previously considered an obscene French playwright by most Englishmen-and to get them triumphantly produced in London, after years of bickering with the Lord-Chamberlain, Britain's play censor...

A girl's lover is killed-she feels no emotion; a country is in revolt, "the best people" pay no attention.
