But probablythats because youre so tired. I warn you shell do everything shecan to keep him from marrying you. Hazel Niles comes out of the house to thehead of the steps.
Isnt beauty an abominationand love a vile thing? Ilooked everywhere around the house and couldnt find you. So when he called here Icouldnt be rude, could I?
It would be bad for him to get tied to your apron strings again.
Then Mannons voice comessuddenly from the bed, dull and lifeless. I mustnt appear too old and haggard when Orin comes, mustI?
Leastways, love made angina kill him, if youtake my meaning. Ive been thinking of what we could do to get back toeach other. He is a tall, spare, big-boned man of fifty, dressedin the uniform of a Brigadier-General.
You let me take youas if you were a nigger slave Id bought at auction!
I turned to Vinnie, but a daughters not a wife.
She sighs with affectedweariness and leans back and closes her eyes. But probablythats because youre so tired.
We had just given up hope ofyour coming tonight.
He did one of thebravest things Ive seen in the war. Able only to keep mymind from thinking of what Id lost!
Further back,against the wall, is a bureau.
I would feel more honor between myself and life! Thats why I felt it my duty to write you.
Puritan maidens shouldntpeer too inquisitively into Spring! She is dressed as at the endof Act Three, in nightgown, wrapper and slippers.
There is a seconds uncomfortable silence.
She stands listening forsome sound from the bed. Only shes too Mannon to let anyone see what shefeels.
I mustnt appear too old and haggard when Orin comes, mustI? Doyou think I want to make it harder for myself? Ioverheard her mother talking to Lavinia in the hall. A funeral wreath is fixed to the column atthe right of steps. ThenI made up my mind Id do my work in the world and leave you alonein your life and not care.
Iwould try to make up my mind exactly what that wall was but I nevercould discover. But does defeat end in thevictory of death?
You stealeven Fathers love from me again! Then all the yearsweve been man and wife would rise up in my mind and I would try tolook at them.
You wanted the truth and youregoing to hear it now!
You know how folks intown gossip, Father.
A moment later Ezra Mannon enters fromleft, front.
A big four-poster bed is at rear,center, the foot front, the head against the rear wall.
