Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bohemian Girl
Meanwhile, Florestein and certain of the sportsmen dash excitedly across the grounds of the Castle, looking for Arline, who has been attacked by a stag. Thaddeus, getting hold of a ri?e, hurries away after them, finds Arline, and frees her from danger by slaying the stag. The Count, overcome with gratitude for the safe return of his child, invites her deliverer and his companion, Devilshoof, to an approach ing banquet at the Castle. The invitation is accepted, and when the banquet comes off, the company are startled by Thaddeus defiantly refusing to drink the Emperor's health. He is about to be dealt with by the soldiers when Devilshoof intervenes on his behalf. Then the Gipsy chief, for his daring, is himself arrested and confined to the chateau, while Thaddeus, at Arnheim's earnest entreaty, is allowed to go free. The banquet is resumed, but is soon interrupted again by the escape of Devilshoof, who is seen by the terrified company bearing away in his arms the little Arline. With a stirring finale, the Act closes.
