THE FOURTH ACT.
THE BEGINNING OF A NEW LIFE.
The scene is Hugh Murray’s private sitting-room in an old-fashioned Holborn hotel, comfortably and solidly furnished, but with an antiquated look about the place. It is evening, the lamps are lighted and the fire is burning. Hugh is playing a plaintive melody upon the piano, and watching Leslie, who sits with a listless air.
Leslie.
Mr. Murray.
Hugh Murray.
Yes?
Leslie.
Wilfrid is very late.
Hugh Murray.
