 ACT FOURTH.

A large old-fashioned room in Captain Horster's house. An open folding-door in the background leads to an anteroom. In the wall on the left are three windows. About the middle of the opposite wall is a platform, and on it a small table, two candles, a water-bottle and glass, and a bell. For the rest, the room is lighted by sconces placed between the windows. In front, on the left, is a table with a candle on it, and by it a chair. In front, to the right, a door, and near it a few chairs.

Large assemblage of all classes of townsfolk. In the crowd are a few women and schoolboys. More and more people gradually stream in from the back until the room is quite full.

First Citizen.

[To another standing near him.] So you're here too, Lamstad?

Second Citizen. I never miss a public meeting.

A Bystander. I suppose you've brought your whistle?

Second Citizen. Of course I have; haven't you?
