Lightning and thunder: a storm. In the flashes oflightning which illuminate the stage, we seeglimpses of WALTON looking out with a telescope,
CLERVAL helping VICTOR stand, JUSTINE and WILLIAMplaying hide and seek, and VICTOR cradlingELIZABETH"s dead body. A loud clap of thunderawakens MARY from her dream, center, gasping forair.

POLIDORI
"Aubrey"s weakness increased; the effusion of bloodproduced symptoms of the near approach of death. Hedesired his sister"s guardians might be called, andwhen the midnight hour had struck, he related
composedly what the reader had perused - he diedimmediately after. The guardians hastened to protectMiss Aubrey; but when they arrived, it was too late."
