THE


ALIENATED MANOR.





ACT I.

SCENE I.A Wood, with a View of Charville's House in the background, seen through the Trees.

Enter Crafton, who immediately stops short, as if looking earnestly at something off the Stage.

CRAFTON.

Who can it be? Ho! paper and pencil in hand; and the broad-brimmed hat, too, with its green lining;—I heard he was with them. Fit crow for such a rookery!

Enter Sir Level Clump.

Your servant, Sir Level Clump; I wish you good morning.

SIR LEVEL.

Good morning, Mr. Crafton; I am delighted to see you. Do you often, in your morning rambles, trespass thus far on your neighbour's premises?
