(Act III., Scene II., p. 75). If this transfiguration of Merlin's cannot be realized in a satisfactory manner on the stage, it may be easily avoided by cutting, on pp. 77 to 81, all that follows on Joyzelle's exclamation. The scene will then be as follows:

(Waking with a start.) LancÉor!... (Recognizing Merlin, with a movement of horror.) You!...

Merlin.

Yes, it is I: the proof is grave and sad, &c.

(The rest as on pp. 81 to 85.)
