Beyond the Rocks Page #2

- She was bewitching, -

- yet so reserved that she was the despair

of all the gallants of the Court - "

" - until one lover,

bolder than the rest - "

"Wasn't it fortunate for the

bold lover that the heart -

- of the Marquise was as warm

as her eyes were tender?"

"You are more beautiful,

more bewitching than she -

- Theodora, I love you - I adore you - "

"Oh, Hector, it was all so real,

so beautiful - and now - "

"Forgive me - I did not realize

- I love you too much to make you unhappy. "

"And I love you - "

" - but if we are not stronger than

our love, we must not meet again. "

Hector returns to London.

Lady Anningford, Hector's

sister, has always been -

- his pal and confidante.

(Actress:
June Elvidge)

"Is something troubling my boy?"

"Morella will be so glad to see you. "

"Well, Hector, tell me all about

it - who is she this time?"

Anne has listened to many of

Hector's love affairs but -

- she realizes that this one

is altogether different.

"But, Hector, she is married - you

cannot continue such an affair!"

"I know, but I can worship and serve her

- and I want you to be her friend. "

"Well - I'll call on her as soon

as she comes to town. "

Anne not only calls upon

Theodora, but carries the Browns -

- off to Beachleigh, her country

place, for Whitsuntide.

And while Theodora is rehearsing

her part in the pageant -

- Josiah is listening

with feverish interest -

- to Sir Lionel Grey, the

celebrated explorer.

" - and if I can

persuade you to finance -

- this expedition into

Northern Africa, I am sure -

- you will find the trip of interest -

and success might bring you a Knighthood. "

Although Hector is not

expected at Beachleigh, -

- the temptation to be near

Theodora proves too strong.

"Do you think you should have come

here - under the circumstances?"

"Perhaps not, but it means so

much to me just to see her. "

"Why, there is Hector!"

"What devotion, Morella - he has

braved a house party to be near you!"

"Mr. Brown has consented to

finance our expedition - "

"I am not so sure it was devotion to

me that brought him to Beachleigh. "

"I'm furnishing the funds

for Sir Lionel's trip, -

- and d'you know, I'm half

tempted to go with him. "

"Furnish the money, if you like, Mr. Brown

- but I advise you to stay in England. "

"The journey is difficult

and the desert tribes -

- are lawless - and you

might never come back. "

"Sir Lionel didn't mention danger.

I'll finance the trip -

- but I'll take your

advice and stay here. "

"I am glad you are not going, Josiah. "

"This calls me to London -

but it is good news. "
