INTRODUCTION

ACT I - THE LOVERS

SCENE - The Terrace

"The green old turrets, all ivy thatch,
Above the cedars that girdle them rise
The pleasant glow of sushine catch,
And outline sharp on the bluest of skies."

ACT II - THE ELOPEMENT

SCENE I - Dorothy Vernon's Door

"It is a night without a star,
And the hall with revelry throbs and gleams;
There grates a hinge - the door is ajar -
And a shaft of light in the darkness streams."

ACT III - THE RETURN

SCENE - The Ante-Chamber
