SCENE III.

A wild Moor, skirted on one side by a thick tangled Wood, through which several open paths are seen. The Stage darkened to represent faint moonlight through heavy gathering clouds. Thunder and lightning.

Enter by the front Elspy Low, Mary Macmurren, and her son, Wilkin, who stop and listen to the thunder.

MARY MACMURREN (spreading her arms exultingly.)

Ay, ay! this sounds like the true sound o' Princedome and Powerfu'ness.

ELSPY LOW (clapping her hands as another louder peal rolls on).

Ay; it sounds royally! we shall na mare be deceived; it wull prove a' true at last.

MARY MACMURREN.

This very night we shall ken what we shall ken. We shall be wi' the Beings of power—be wi' them and be of them.
(Thunder again.)
