The Bohemian Girl Page #3

Synopsis: A band of Gypsies are camped outside the walls of Count Arnheim's palace. Oliver's wife kidnaps the Count's daughter Arline, then leaves the child and runs off with her lover, Devilshoof. Not knowing her true identity, Oliver, with the help of "Uncle" Stanley, raises the girl as his own. Years later, Arline, still unaware of her noble birth, is caught trespassing on the Count's grounds and is thrown into the dungeon. Meanwhile, Stanley and Oliver pass the time playing "fingers" and bumblingly ply their trade picking pockets. Finally, just when Oliver needs his help to rescue Arline, Stanley gets drunk while siphoning wine into bottles.

Hmm. Nobody will ever recognise her now.

Good. But how will you account

for her to your husband?

Have no fear.

He'll believe anything l tell him.

He must never know who she really is.

he and that nitwit henchman of his

would tell it to the whole world!

Don't worry, my precious. l can handle them.
