But Jabez carries a burden, for he knows that, having sold his soul to the Devil, he must, on the stroke of midnight, deliver it up to him. Shortly before twelve, Mr. Scratch, a lawyer, enters. Jabez bids his guests be gone; he has made his bargain and must now pay the price. His bride, however, stands by him, and so does his friend, Daniel Webster, who proceeds to argue against the Devil as though they were in court. Mr. Scratch is indomitable, however, and Daniel finally insists upon their having a jury decide Jabez's fate. Mr. Scratch agrees and a jury of both the living and the dead appears to hear the case. Webster thunders with passion about saving Jabez's life, but to no avail. Changing his tactics, Webster eventually rises to the height of his powers and performs the miracle of winning back the young farmer's soul." #Devil #collectiblebooks #CuttleboneBooks #Farmers #Play #Bookstagram #instabooks #BooksBooksBooks #bibliophile #NewEngland #Vintage #bookcollecting #Theater #Books #TheDevilAndDanielWebster #readersofinstagram #StephenVincentBenet #booksforsale #Drama #Antiquarian #instaread #Bookworm #DramatistsPlayService #booksale
