I remember this house when it rang with laughter and love. Goodbye, Mrs.
Heathcliff Ask your husband to call another doctorin future. Whoever dwells
in this house is beyond my healing arts. |
ISABELLA |
I shall miss you, Dr.Kenneth. |
KENNETH |
Isabella,I brought you into the world. But it's a world you're not going
to grace very long if you stay in this house. Dear child,I
must tell you this: go back where you belong. Back with Edgar,if only for
a month or two. It will mean your salvation and his. |
ISABELLA |
Edgar's disowned me. |
KENNETH |
Nonsense! That was natural under the circumstances. But he needs you now.
|
ISABELLA |
He does? Why?
|
KENNETH |
Cathy is gravely ill. In fact, it's only a matter of days,hours perhaps.
|
ISABELLA |
What is it?
|
KENNETH |
Fever, inflammation of the lungs, but there's something beyond that. I
don't know. I'd call it the "will to die." |
ISABELLA |
If Cathy died, I might begin to live. |
KENNETH |
Isabella! |
