The night brings both rain and bad news. The barman warns that Henry will be arrested in the morning. Generously, without prying, the barman advises Henry to escape to Switzerland and offers his boat.
Henry and Catherine hurry to get ready. The barman takes their bags as they pretend they\'re going for a walk in the rain. Down at the lake they meet the barman, who gives them sandwiches and liquor. He sends them on their way. The night is stormy but the wind is blowing in the right direction to sweep them into Swiss waters.
NOTE: The barman is the key person in this scene, one more character who\'s dependable and honorable. Consider, though, that what he\'s done, however right it seems, is \"unpatriotic\" and highly illegal. There\'s that conflict again. For the moment, anyway, authority is defeated.
