Excerpt from A Lovers' Knot: An Opera in One Act

Walter, a young Virginia gentleman, has traveled for a long time, vainly attempting to forget his love for Beatrice. He does not believe she loves him, but fears she would consent to marry him because his father, during the Civil War, rescued her father from the battle field at the cost of his own life. At the time Walter returns from his travels, Beatrice is entertaining a Northern friend, Sylvia, who loves and is loved by Edward, Beatrice's brother and bosom friend of Walter. At the first meeting between Walter and Sylvia, both Beatrice and her brother mistake Walter's natural courtesy toward Sylvia for love, and whereas Edward decides to give Sylvia up to Walter, Beatrice cannot decide to give Walter up to Sylvia. Sylvia, suspecting what is wrong with Beatrice, confesses her love for Edward, whereupon Beatrice tells of her love for Walter.
