Englishman. Fordo St. Maurice,
who falls in lovt w'.th Adrienne on
sight. I.eonartJo sees h.'s sisttr
Margharita. who tills him h’.s love
for Adrienne is hope-lens. Hut he
pleads with her t" arrange an ac-
cidental meeting, to say farewell,
between Adrier.m and him.
She consents. That night the
Englishman is informed of an at-
white sand. Inland »;;■ a st mi-
circle of steep cliff*, at the* base of
which there were* great bowlders of
rock, fern-cove reel and with hya-
cinths of many colors growing out
of the crevices, ami lending a
sweet fragrance to the* fresh morn-
ing air. It was a spot shut off
from the world, for the* towering
cliffs ran out into the sea on either
side, completely enclosing the* lit
tie cove. There was only one po<
•ible approach to it, sa\e by boat,
and that a difficult and tedious
one, and, looking upward from thei
shore*, haul to discover. Hut on.

Signor I’ruccio, Lord St. Maurice's
