Mrs. L. c. Furbee has received word
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-02-09

"hastens to chair left" The following
scene ensues:
Mother what means this? God give you
sound health of soul and body.
GUIBOUR
I shake with chill, and yet am hot with
fever. I die of thirst, son Aubin Prthee
take you the wine jug and fetch me
measure from the cellar. | long so for
drink. Haste you'll
AUBIN
Lady, although methinks the wine is
hurtful to you, I'll draw you some right
willingly, since that will please you.
GUIBOUR
Go quickly, then! (Aubin opens the trap
and descends into the cellar) My part is
done. Soon shall I be rid Of him. (Thud
below, then silence) Now I must plan for
what will come hereafter. (She weeps)
When the rest of the family return
(the two assassins, Of course, having
made good use of their heels), the
tragedy is discovered. Aubin, who has
been carried up and placed in bed, under
the willy Guibour's direction, prior to the
departure of her 'lordings," appears to
have died natural death. There is in
tense grief. Marie, Aubin's wife, and
the daughter Of Guibour, cries: "Mother,
mother, what shall do? have seen him
stark and cold. My love has left me
lonely and bereft. Our life is over ere
it was we'll begun!"
A coffin is procured. The body is pre-
pared for the grave, midst weeping and
lamentation. Just then, however, the
news reaches the bailiff, who is told by
the first officer that more than a thou
sand persons are dumbstruck at the
death of Aubin." The bailiff looks up
startled, and the officer continues: "That
strong and goodly youth, cut down since
prime"

other way. I do not love my gold so much
that would spare it to redeem my reputa-
ton. Nay, I will lavish it on any who will
help me. Some stranger who will kill with
his hand. The time of year is more than
favorable for this. Filthy night field
hands are now gathered here reaping the
harvest. Though the deed be monstrous,
| have no choice. (Enter two harvesters)
All. behold two sturdy rascals, ripe and
ready for any devilish stroke. Lordings,
have you now come hither to work in the
fields?
FIRST HARVESTER
Yes, lady, have you job for one or both
of US?
GUIBOUR
l hope so. Whence come you? Tell me-
FIRST HARVESTER
We're from round about Crotoy. Both of
US are master hands to cut and thrash. If
you have harvest to gather in, we are your
men, and glad to meet your terms We
reap fast and clean, lady
GUIBOUR
Good sir, I am q generous giver and will
reward you with wide open hands--f you
obey my WILL
SECOND HARVESTER
Lady, what pleases you suits US Tell
us what you want done and we'll do it
for you.
GUIBOUR
First swear on the holy relics to keep
my seclet-make oath never to speak Of
1t to man or woman. Then will tell you
all.
SECOND HARVESTER
Lady, I'll be silent as the grave Your
secrets safe with me- No one shall drag
it out of me against your wish
FIRST HARVESTER
(Also swearing on the cross she holds
out) I promise to keep close teeth about
it. Now deign to give your orders.

man. (They both start back.) That is my
will Albeit he Is friend of mine and

Ject of gossip. Her name is linked with
that of her son-in-law in an unsavory
fashion. The scene in which this matter
IS brought to her attention runs thus:
FRIEND
Gentle neighbor, God give you good day.
GUIBOUR
May He pardon your sins and mine. How
fares your husband? Well, I am sure.
FRIEND
Thanks be to God he is. And you neigh
Dor?
In all things prosperous God has
showed US many favor, but blessed US
most Of all in our dear SON in-law. In
faith, I deem that God inspired US to
choose him for daughter. Never was
such goodly youth. She could not find
better.
FRIEND
(Glancing anxiously about-nervously.)
Neghbor, I cannot rest me snug in any
place where I am forced to hear blame and
foul talk against dear loved friend
do my duty and tell her all the scandal.
SO with good warning she NAV guard her
fair repute.
GUIBOUR
What mean you? Why speak you thus
to me? Prithee, say on.
FRIEND
Yea, shall be frank of tongue and tell
you for your good. Neighbor, a tale goes
fre-wild through the town that Aubin is
your light O. love. -.
GUIBOUR
Alackaday, that all the town should thus
besmirch my name Neighbor, upon nv
honor a woman and friend, they le
am most innocent of this. Whoever has
spread this infamy, / know not But
know him guilty of mortal sin. God for
bid they should accuse of such shame
FRIEND
Saints aid my SOUL / warned you in good
faith. Praise me not, nor blame me, neigh
Dor.
GUIBOUR
Nay, dame, thank you from my heart
yet, prithee, when you hear it said, deny
it boldly, for it is not true
FRIEND
we'll believe it, yet hcnceforth be wary
and on your guard. I commend you to
Gods keeping, and so farewell.
And then Guibour, left alone, distracted
by what she has just heard, eases her
heart with words: "Oh sweet Mother of
God, what evil has befallen me? Foul
the minds that heap such shame on me
unjustly. Yet how refute it? can but
sorrow. DO naught save weep and wall"
But there is an immediate reaction:
Sweet Mother of God, what shall / do?
| shall not rest, but day and night pom
der some means to rid me of this in
fanny"
She enters the church, apparently
seeking spiritual guidance. And when she
returns again upon the scene we find
her approaching solution. It is a solu-
ton, as more than one New York re-
viewer has remarked, which seems, in
deed, strange one to the modern mind.
But this is Middle Age miracle play and
one ~ bound to approach it with an all
believing mind. The following scene has
many parallel in Shakespeare:
CUIBOUR
Never again shall I be glad Of heart:
never until tho shame is wiped away. Yet
this can never be while Aubin lives. The
scandal will not die-~oniy his death can

they will do this for her. Next, it Is
debated how the deed shall best be accom-
plished. Guibour recalls the fact that her
cellar is "a black and murky place." 1t
is decided that the two harvesters shall
hide down there, and when the son-in-law
enters make away with hinl-but in such
wise that mo blood nor wound shall

The men are stationed in the cellar and
Guibour, hearing Aubin approaching,

Then let US go forth to the place Of exc
cution.
EXECUTIONER
I've good trade and I like it, so I
shall work at it if you command me, with
blithe heart.
GUIBOUR
Oh, Lady! Take thought and care OF
my poor soul. since my body must soon
die shameful death.
Ay murderess, hurt and shame for you,
Nothing is bad enough for you who slew
my brother in the way you did.
But this is where the miracle comes in.
Guibour wins permission to spend q
few moments in prayer on the steps of
the church before she is burned at the
stake. In this prayer she once more
beseeches divine protection. aid my
soul and stay it, for my body is doomed
to perish very SOON" The executoner
then assumes the centre of the stage.
"We must get on with our little bust
ness" he says cheerfulIy. Then he In
stgucts his subject to kneel down. He

going to tie them close to your side.
Then bind you to the stake"
He does so, and the torch is applied
Light her up!" cries the bailiR. But
the voice Of God is heard:
Mother, mother, the time is at hand
when you must HE you down to earth
to save and protect Guibour. List. she
10 ,,, h. 81,
so earnestly to be restored through you
to my friendship, imploring pardon for
her crime. Go, defend her we'll. So,
though fire be set about her body, it
shall not touch nor injure nor destroy It
in any manner"
And the statue of Mary comes to life
and summons the angels Gabriel and
Michael. The flames leap high, but
Guibour is unframed. Fire, / forbid"
says Our Lady. Guibour raises her
arms and the crowd cries out in aston
ishment.
BAILIFF
Behold, miraclei
GUIBoUR
Here I am, risen from death and fame.
Our Lady was my shield, God my de-
fender.
BAILIFF
Lady, on my Bonded knee I ask your
pardon for the anger and wrath / showed
toward you; for ali my harsh and violent
treatment. On my soul, I deem you holy
and will never harm you more. Curse me
not to he'll nor spurn me in this life.
GUIBOUR
Rise. for the love of God. I cannot ses
you thus brought low. In truth, you wrong
me not Ny crime deserved a thousand
deaths. Only the Virgins mercy stood be-
tween me and my just doom. I prayed
her from my heart, and she preserved me.
If you scorned and Knocked me very griev-
ously, may Our Lady pardon you as I do.
And may she bring US all to a happy ending.
Ave Marie! Avel
And so ends this strange piece of
Middle Age lore. No, not quite here,
for there is a mystic epilogue, in which
the angels figure. But it is the con.
clusion of the human part of the drama.
The manner in which Guibour is be-
ing played at the Neighborhood Play
house has elected high praise from the
reviewers. The consummate art OF
Mime. Guilbert raises the performance
onto plane of high seriousness. One
of the conspicuous virtues is the singing
of Richards Hale, young barytone, as
one writer said, "of quite unusual
gifts" To the Voice of God and late,
to the chanting of the Priest he brough,
"a sorority and resonance that did much
to make vivid the, miraculous and re
| ligious parts"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-02-09

we'll loved. Dip deep in my purse. And
line your wallets till they bulge. The man
whereof I speak has cost me my fair name.
Because of him l am the scorn and mock
of every one. My heart is broken with sor
row and grief has withered me. I cannot
speak to you Of this in seemly wise. My
words go wild; my head is fire.
Well the upshot of it all is that the
fellows agree. Their eyes CLEAN at the
prospect of much gold. And they say
