Chapter VII: Act III: A Scene never to be forgotten--the Mermaiden's Well

(quite well, thank you), by HAWES CRAVEN, henceforth to be HAWES McCRAVENSWOOD. Pines, heather, sunlight, and two picturesque lovers, Master and Miss, exchanging vows. Master gloomy, Miss lively.

Naturally enough, off goes Master to France.
