Like all men and women who spend
their lives before the public eye. Sarah
Bernhsrdt has her retreat--a place
of quiet. peace and scclusion. There,
on the little rocky island Of Belle Isle,
on the western coast of France, she
leads the simple life in its perfect
state. Her retreat is an old, abandoned
fort, built by the French to protect
against possible English invasion.
For many decades it had been given
over to the bats and owls. but its
existence was finally discovered by
Nine. Bernhard. Long and wearisome

she meets a young man who offers his

Shortly afterwards she makes this
discovery through a crest ON an en-,

which interpreted reads, Dare all save
dishonor This discovery causes Sun
day to recall her engagement, and in
the third act in the love scene. she
declares that man stands between
them, meaning the dead man. but her
lover misinterprets it to mean that
it is another man.
