Chapter 3

Phyllis _again to the rescue_.

FIRST SCENE.--The same. _Ferdinand_ and _Joe_ lie on the ground drunk. Enter _Phyllis_ disguised as a soldier. Expressive despair. She searches _Ferdinand's_ pockets and finds despatch, which is again projected on the screen. She points dramatically to the left and looks doubtfully at _Ferdinand_. Then she takes out a revolver, averts her eyes and shoots him in the shoulder. Projection on screen:--

--------------------------------------- | They will think he has been wounded | | by the enemy and will suspect | | nothing! | ---------------------------------------

SECOND SCENE.--A wood. _Phyllis_ on horseback riding at a great pace and waving the despatch in her right hand.
