:38:28
- Thank you. See to the crypt, will you?
- Yes.
:38:42
Well, are you content now,
Mr. Winthrop?
:38:46
It is not I who forced her to
live in the cemetery.
:38:50
Do you think that I
wish her harm?
:38:53
I think you still do not understand.
:38:57
And I think it's time that you did.
:39:05
The tarn is very deep.
:39:07
One of the Usher women drowned
herself in it.
:39:10
She was never found.
:39:13
I dare say it's deep enough
to swallow this house entire.
:39:17
I'm waiting, Mr. Usher.
:39:19
Last night you asked me about the
singular aridity...
:39:22
...of the land around this house.
:39:28
Once this land was fertile,
farms abounded.
:39:33
Earth yielded her riches
at harvest time.
:39:35
There were trees and plant life,
flowers. Fields of grain.
:39:41
There was great beauty here.
:39:44
At that time this water was
clear and fresh.
:39:48
Swans glided upon its crystal surface.
:39:52
Animals came to its bank,
trustingly, to drink.
:39:59
But this was long before my time.
