—' The Funny-Looking Man '
4—' The Glove has no Master'
(Continued in next column)
Production by Josephine Plummer
At last Jem has come face to face with the owner of the jewelled glove. But now he knows too much and cannot be allowed to go free. He is kidnapped and taken to the coast, imprisoned first in a lonely house on the Essex marshes and then in a strange upturned boat on the shore, with the two old men, Erasmus and Daniel, to guard him.
One evening Jem makes his escape, and, travelling first by water and then along the sea wall, he comes to the village of Virley. Exhausted by his journey he falls asleep in the churchyard. When he wakes it is moonlight, and a cloaked figure is standing over him. He looks up into the thin white face of Mr. de la Rue.
