:40:04
Why do you tell me these things?
:40:06
And then something crept across the
land and blacked it.
:40:12
The trees lost their foliage.
:40:16
The flowers languished and died.
:40:19
Shrubs grew brown and shrivelled.
:40:23
The grain fields perished.
:40:27
And the lakes and ponds became black
and stagnant.
:40:33
And the land withered as
before a plague.
:40:38
A plague?
:40:40
Yes, Mr. Winthrop, a plague of evil.
:40:46
Anthony Usher,
thief, usurer...
:40:53
...merchant of flesh...
:40:58
Bernard Usher. Swindler, forger.
:41:04
Jewel thief. Drug addict.
:41:11
Francis Usher...
professional assassin.
:41:18
Vivian Usher. Blackmailer...
:41:22
...harlot, murderess.
:41:26
She died in a madhouse.
:41:31
Captain David Usher...
:41:33
...smuggler, slave trader...
mass murderer.
:41:39
Mr. Usher, I don't see that this has
anything to do with Madeline and myself.
:41:45
I don't believe in the sins
of the fathers being...
:41:48
...visited upon the children.
:41:54
You do not, Sir?
:41:57
The house of Usher seems to
you, then, normal?
