Charles Di Tocca, Vol. 5 (Classic Reprint): A Tragedy

Excerpt from Charles Di Tocca, Vol. 5: A Tragedy
Scene. - The Island Leucadia. A ruined temple of Apollo near the town of Pharo. Broken columns and stones are strewn, or stand desolately about. It is night - the moon rising. Antonio, who has been waiting impatiently, seats himself on a stone. By a road near the ruins Fulvia enters, cloaked.
Antonio (turning): Helen -!
Fulvia: A comely name, my lord.
Antonio: Ah, you?
My father's unforgetting Fulvia?
Fulvia: At least not Helena, whoe'er she be.
Antonio: And did I call you so?
Fulvia: Unless it is
These stones have tongue and passion.
