SCENE V
Snow. Landscape. Music. Enter Eliza, with Harry, hurriedly.
They press upon my footsteps—the river is my only hope. Heaven
grant me strength to reach it, ere they overtake me! Courage, my child!—we
will be free—or perish! (Rushes off. Music continued.)
(Enter Loker, Haley and Marks.)
We'll catch her yet; the river will stop her!
MARKS:
No, it won't, for look! she has jumped upon the ice! She's brave gal,
anyhow!
LOKER:
She'll be drowned!
HALEY:
Curse that young 'un! I shall lose him, after all.
LOKER:
Come on, Marks, to the ferry!
HALEY:
Aye, to the ferry!—a hundred dollars for a boat!
(Music. They rush off.)
