Pacolet gives a ring to Valentine, waves his wand, they follow him.
SCENE VI.—Castle of the Giant Ferragus. (Richards.)
Valentine and Orson enter, and approach the gates. Orson seeing a horn, blows it—it utters a dreadfully discordant blast—the gates fly open—two Fiends rush out, one of them speaks.
Fiend.
The invincible sovereign of this castle, the mighty and gigantic Ferragus, warns you to fly—hence!—begone!
They rush on Valentine and Orson, are overthrown and sink—as Valentine and Orson are proceeding, a Lion enters, Valentine presents the magic ring, and the Lion disappears—Pacolet is seen in place of the monster, and conducts Valentine and Orson into the Giant's dwelling.
SCENE VII.—A Magic Chamber in the Castle—(Whitmore.)
In the Centre, on a Pillar, a golden Head, and on one side of it, stands the enormous Giant Ferragus, leaning on a massive Club—Valentine and Orson enter—the Giant raises his monstrous club—Pacolet enters—waves his wand, the club changes to a heavy chain, incircling the arms of the giant—Orson catches up the giant, throws him down, and stands over him, Pacolet waves his wand.
Eglantine, Florimonda, and Belisanta enter.
