About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905. Excerpt: ... ACT II The smithy attached to the house of Louis Vautier. A wooden balcony, which leads to the upper rooms of the dwelling-house, runs across the rear wall, connecting by means of a staircase with the floor of the forge. An entrance is also obtained to the living apartments through a door on the left. The third door, on the right close to the rear wall, abuts on to the public street. It alone is open. On the same side, between it and the front, is a low window--beneath it, a heavy working bench. Towards the centre of the stage is the forge; and close to it a large iron anvil.

The time is towards evening. (As the curtain rises Vautier and Steffan are seen busily engaged in beating into shape upon the anvil a bar of red hot metal. Vautier is wielding the hammer, whilst Steffan holds the bar with iron pincers.) Vautier. Steady, lad, steady! A little more forward. That will do. Keep a firm grip! Steffan. Ay, Master. (The Smith continues his work.) Vautier (resting). No more for the present. 'Tis cooling too rapidly. It can scarcely have been heated enough. Let it go back to the forge, and give it a good firing. Steffan. Very well, Master. (Steffan replaces the iron in the forge and busies himself in reheating it. Vautier in the meantime stands lost in thought, his hammer resting upon the anvil.) Vautier (to himself, in an angry undertone). I thought him a fool; I should have judged him a knave. Fools do not make renegades. And not a week has passed since the betrothal took place. 'Twas I that played the fool--I, Louis Vautier--and not Aurele Felder. If I had only spoken then, and taxed him...
