:13:03
Why was the maid crying?
:13:05
I'm not sure I can make you understand.
:13:07
Do you know what this is?
:13:10
- A figure of Saint Sebastian.
- Yes.
:13:13
But it was once the figurehead
of a slave ship.
:13:15
That's where our people came from...
:13:17
from the misery and pain of slavery.
:13:19
For generations, they found life a burden.
:13:21
That's why they still weep when a child
is born and make merry at a burial.
:13:29
I've told you, Miss Connell,
this is a sad place.
:13:50
Good morning, miss.
:13:52
Thank you for waking me.
:13:54
I didn't want to frighten you
out of your sleep, miss.
:13:56
That's why I touched you
farthest from your heart.
:14:00
Don't get up, miss.
I brought your breakfast...
:14:03
just like I do for Miss Jessica.
:14:05
But I'm Miss Jessica's nurse, Alma.
You don't have to do that for me.
:14:08
I know it, miss, but I like to do it.
:14:10
I like to tend for Miss Jessica,
and I want to tend for you.
:14:13
You settle right back now,
and I'll mix you your coffee.
:14:16
Thank you.
:14:18
Miss Jessica used to say
this is the only way...
:14:21
for a lady to break her fast...
:14:22
in bed, with a lacy cushion
to bank her head on.
:14:25
If you'd only seen her, Miss Connell.
:14:28
She looked so pretty.
:14:30
She must have been beautiful.
:14:32
What happened to her, Alma?
:14:34
She was very sick,
and then she went mindless, miss.
:14:38
We'll see if we can't make her well, Alma,
you and I.
:14:41
I do my best.
:14:42
Every day I dress her just as beautifully
as if she was well.
:14:46
It's just like dressing a great big doll.
:14:50
What's this?
:14:52
A puffup, I call it.
But Miss Jessica always says brioche.
:14:55
Looks like an awful lot of breakfast.
:14:56
I don't know
whether I'll be able to get away with it.
