Melot is Tristan's friend, and the night hunt was arranged that the lovers might meet. They dispute to some of Wagner's loveliest melodies. The signal for Tristan is the extinguishing of the torch, and the music associated with this deed now is used again in the last act in another form.
On my return from one of my walks I jotted down the incidents of the three acts in a concise form, with the intention of working them out more elaborately later on. In the last act I introduced an episode, which, however, I did not develop eventually, namely, the visit to Tristan's deathbed by Parsifal during his search for the Holy Grail.
He would not leave them, however, until a powerful voice called "Tristan!" several times. Muller turned and saw that Tristan's master was a tall, stately man wearing a handsome fur overcoat. It was impossible to recognise his face at this distance, for the snowflakes were whirling thickly in the air.
"Yes," said Commines, "Tristan's house. He is the King's Provost-Marshal and and " "Yes, I know, Uncle. He carries out the justice of the King. But to hang a fellow-Christian over one's own hall-door is a strange taste." "Stephen, take my advice and have naught to do with Tristan by word or deed. And no doubt the fellow deserved his hanging."
I know my limitations. A man can give out nothing better than is put into him. Well, so long as we give our best I don't believe the good God will be hard upon us. Now, then. "Martlets and Mullets? Villon, what do you mean?" "Have you forgotten our friend of the spiked thorn?" "But the Dauphin swears these were Tristan's men." "Tristan? Impossible!
"The ship has disappeared behind the reef..." Tristan's joy drops like a shot bird. One seems to feel his heart stop. "The reef?..." he asks trembling, "Is there danger in it?... That is where the surf rages, the ships founder.... Who is at the helm?" "The safest of sea-men." "Could he betray me? Might he be a confederate of Melot's?" "Trust him as you would myself!"
It was little wonder that his mood was sobered as his mind, instinctively swayed by Commines' almost frenzied insistence, groped its way step by step from Poitou to Valmy in a troubled endeavour to recall just what had passed between them when Tristan's interruption pricked the bubble of his irony. And he succeeded in part.
Tristan offers no explanations, but touched by the King's bitter reproaches provokes Sir Melot to combat and allows himself to be mortally wounded. The third act opens in Brittany, whither Kurwenal, Tristan's faithful henchman, has taken him. A shepherd lad watches from a neighboring height to announce the appearance of a vessel, for Kurwenal has sent for Isolde to heal his master's wound.
Antony, however, who retained more of Tristan's energy and love of fair play at home than any of his brothers, proved clearly that I did more good than harm. I was, he declared, a brave fighter, and there was no knowing when they might need an extra hand. I might also be shaped into a swindler.
"Yes, yours, until you exchange it for that of the favored lover, of whose name you make such a mystery." "That will never be!" "Never? Does he not love you, then? But I know he does, he must. Every one loves you; no one can help it, you win all hearts!" "Count Tristan's, for instance," remarked Madeleine, bitterly. "Ah, not his, that is true.
