-Clearly written for [[Minnie Palmer]] (1865 - 1936) with her skills as a coquettish actress (and possibly written by herself), the play is set in a French Marshal's quarters. A Red Cross sister asks for an audience as he is reviewing death warrants. She wants a reprieve for a man who has killed a man in a duel for a 'worthless woman' named Rose Pompon.  When he leaves the room, it is discovered that the Red Cross sister is Rose, who has repented her ways. Under her cloak is an old stage costume and on the marshal's return she purrs and pouts and sings and dances and uses "tricks" to obtain the pardon, which he ultimately grants.

 It seems to have been first performed in the USA in 1899 and in Northern Ireland in 1900
