Enter Dollerclutch, door R. F.
Dol. [Feeling in the dark.] I’m sure he came this way—and that shot! I’m afraid all is not right. [Runs into Ralph.] Ha! [They struggle. Ralph throws Dollerclutch from him and escapes through door, R. F.] Confound it! He’s got away! But I’ve got his ring, which slipped from his finger into my hand. He shan’t escape—I’ll have him yet. [Exit hurriedly, door R. F.]
After a pause Enter Reginald, door L. F.
Reg. The house is dark. Adrienne has retired for the night. In the excitement and haste of my departure I forgot my gun. [He feels around in the dark.] I stood it here against a chair! [Finds it.] Ah! It would not do to return without it. I feel almost tempted to call Adrienne, that I might once more clasp her to my heart—but, no! I have delayed too long already. I will live on the fond remembrance of our happy meeting, and pray that the day be not far distant when I can feast my heart upon the smiles of my beloved wife and child! [Exit door R. F.]
Quick Curtain.
