SCENE VI.
Outside of Convent.
Enter
Abbey Porter with provisions—
Lady Abbess
and
Nuns go into the Convent—
St. Pierre,
D'Arcourt, and
Julia enter, preceded by
Father Boneffe
—Julia is offered this alternative—“
St. Pierre
or a Convent”—the latter she readily embraces,
and is given up to the care of the Abbess La Ramee.
—St. Pierre, irritated at her resolution, and finding
her still hang about his heart, determines on another
interview, and follows her into the convent—Clifford,
who observes this, determines on the same,
but is refused admittance by the Porter, 'till, by
obtaining a Grey Friar's habit, he by means of that
disguise is admitted.
