Dr. Margrave
The name
She has forgotten—but she left a token,
Half of this severed chain (takes out half a necklace), with "Isabelle"
Engraven, as this has "De Vere" upon it.
Judge. (snatching the chain).
Ah! this was Isabelle's—her mother's, too!
This is a clue indeed. I'll go at once
To seek her out and find the other half.
Godfrey (taking it out).
'Tis here. And thus may Truth be ever found
By all who seek her earnestly, and wait
Her advent in the time and way appointed!
The way is righteousness—the time is God's.
Judge.
I am confounded by these miracles.
Explain—where did you find this precious token?
Godfrey
'Twas given me by Professor Olney—he
It was who took the little Isabelle
And reared her as his own.
