description: A family surrounds a sick mother and hope for her recovery but only the old blind grandfather hears furtive and sliding steps in the garden and feels a cold breeze pass announcing to him an unexpected guest.The short play Les Aveugles (1890) [The Blind ] which shows a foreboding of disaster is perhaps even more melancholy. The sightless have followed their guide an old sick priest; and there in the middle of the forest they believe they have lost him. How will they now find their refuge?In The Death Of Tintagiles the Queen who possesses complete control over her servants and people has killed most of Tintagiles family. Ygraine and Bellangre try to protect him but he is captured by the Queen's servants and brought to her castle.The description of the scene gives almost as full a picture as the play which like its predecessors is mainly pictorial. There is a vast hall of marble divided lengthwise into two by a range of seven white marble steps and upon pale silken cushions laid on these sleep the seven princesses with white and bare arms. At long last their cousin Prince Marcellus arrives to wake the princesses.
