Dora. Forgive you—[Kisses her.]

Zoe. I feel you do, George.

George. Zoe, you are pale. Zoe!—she faints!

Zoe. No; a weakness, that's all—a little water. [Dora gets water.] I have a restorative here—will you poor it in the glass? [Dora attempts to take it.] No; not you—George. [George pours contents of phial in glass.] Now, give it to me. George, dear George, do you love me?

George. Do you doubt it, Zoe?

Zoe. No! [Drinks.]

Dora. Zoe, if all I possess would buy your freedom, I would gladly give it.

Zoe. I am free! I had but one Master on earth, and he has given me my freedom!

Dora. Alas! but the deed that freed you was not lawful.

Zoe. Not lawful—no—but I am going to where there is no law—where there is only justice.
