<br>

JO<br>

Spoken: 'It's a mean and stormy night<br>

The moors are bleak and bloody.<br>

Thunder claps! Lightning Strikes!<br>

The fair Clarissa, her clothes in disarray,<br>

races across the wild coastal heath-'<br>

<br>

Now she stops!<br>

Now she runs!<br>

Will she escape?<br>

Will she be caught?<br>

<br>

Spoken: With bold determination, <br>

the villainous aristocrat Braxton Prendergast, lurches for her-<br>

<br>

There's no escape.<br>

She's but a child.<br>

And yet she turns to fight<br>

With eyes ablaze!<br>

This noble girl meets his gaze,<br>

Unafraid.<br>

She will not be defiled!<br>

<br>

Clarissa/ Jo<br>

Spoken: Keep away from me you wretch!<br>

<br>

Braxton/ Jo<br>

Spoken: I cannot keep away. Your beauty<br>

draws me. Your passion ignites me.<br>

<br>

I've got to hold you.<br>

<br>

Clarissa<br>

I defy you!<br>

<br>

Braxton<br>

Got to have you.<br>

<br>

Clarissa<br>

Let me by you!<br>

<br>

Braxton<br>

Come close-<br>

<br>

Clarissa<br>

Don't come too close-<br>

<br>

Braxton<br>

Come close-<br>

<br>

Clarissa<br>

Don't come too close-<br>

<br>

Braxton/ Clarissa<br>

So close, so close to me.<br>

<br>

Braxton<br>

Spoken: I'll have her. And the mother too.<br>

<br>

Jo<br>

Spoken: And at that moment, Rodrigo appears in magnificent splendor!<br>

<br>

Rodrigo/ Jo<br>

Spoken: Unhand that woman, villain!<br>

<br>

Braxton<br>

Spoken: Who are you?<br>

<br>

Rodrigo/ Jo<br>

I am your destiny,<br>

Your bitterest foe.<br>

You stole what was rightly mine<br>

Ten long years ago.<br>

You left me cold, alone and forgotten,<br>

Now I'm back to settlet he score-!<br>

<br>

Professor Bhaer<br>

Spoken: Miss March!<br>

<br>
