ACT I.

Scene

SCENE: A GARDEN ON THE RIGHT HAND; FACING THE AUDIENCE, A SMALL BUT BEAUTIFUL MANSION, THE ENTRANCE TO WHICH IS THROUGH AN OPEN PORTICO, RAISED A FEW STEPS FROM THE GROUND. ON THE LEFT, A HIGH WALL, STRETCHING OBLIQUELY ACROSS THE STAGE, THE OPPOSITE EXTREMITY LOST TO VIEW IN THE WINGS. — SHRUBS, TREES AND FLOWERS ARE SCATTERED PICTURESQUELY. — ON THE SAME SIDE, THERE IS A SMALL GARDEN DOOR.
A shriek is heard from the house. — Adeline rushes out, runs to the garden door, and finds it locked; totters to the centre of the stage, and sits upon a garden chair. Kertzler follows Adeline, evidently in great grief. Music commences.

ON THE LEFT, A SPLENDID TERRACE RESTING ON MARBLE COLUMNS, BETWEEN WHICH, ARE MAGNIFICENT VASES, FILLED WITH FLOWERS. IN THE BACK GROUND, A RIVER, BORDERED WITH WEEPING WILLOWS, OVER WHICH THERE IS A VERY ELEVATED CHINESE BRIDGE. EXOTIC PLANTS AND TREES, PICTURESQUELY GROUPED, RENDER THE SCENE PECULIARLY BEAUTIFUL AND ROMANTIC.
