DRAMATIS PERSONÆ.

  • Will Scarlett (of Robin Hood's Sherwood Outlaws.)
  • Lady Jacqueline Werewood .

The period is the close of the twelfth century. The place is the castle hall of Sir John Werewood. The time is half past twelve of an October night.

The scene is the hall of the castle of Sir John Werewood. It is an ancient hall of stone, after the manner of the Saxon castles of the twelfth century. There is a great fireplace; the logs are smouldering low, as if the fire had been banked with ashes. A few pieces of massive furniture. As the curtain rises, Lady Jacqueline pushes aside the arras that hangs over one of the doors, and comes in, speaking as she does so, backward, to some one in the corridor without. She wears the dress of a boy of the period .
