SCENE II

[The same. Maiden discovered seated on a stool, at right of Cat, as this would appear to the spectators. Under the stool a wooden or tin plate is placed in readiness, also a large circular piece of pasteboard with the words, “One Dollar,” cut around the edge. The Maiden carries the pasteboard heart, and a handful of pasteboard tears. The spider hangs motionless high above her head—out of sight, if possible.]

Maiden puts hands to her eyes, and pasteboard tears fall.

One day within the sacred court

In which the cat was kept,

The maiden sat alone, and sad

And bitter tears she wept.
