SCENE III.
A Chamber in D'Arcourt's Mansion.
Julia enters, followed by
Villagers with presents,
which she receives, and dismisses them—appears
much distressed at her situation—
Clifford rushes on,
they plight mutual vows of constancy, she producing
this scroll, “
Death when I prove false.”
—In the moment of protestation
St. Pierre and
D'Arcourt enter.—St. Pierre draws his sword, rushes
on Clifford, and disarms him—he escapes—Julia
faints in her brother's arms, and is hurried off by
St. Pierre to the altar.
