:01:02
Too... much... sorrow.
:01:09
(In High Voice)
Whoever is there with you,

:01:12
tell them to speak up, Henry.
:01:16
Tell them to come closer.
:01:19
(Woman 2) l think l know
who it is, Madame Blanche.

:01:22
I think I know what's bothering her.
:01:26
(In High Voice) Her, is it?
Never you mind, Miss Rainbird.

:01:29
I won't have you doing
Henry's work for him.

:01:31
(Moaning, Gasping)
:01:34
Now, let's have it, my love.
That's why we're here tonight.

:01:38
To help my friend be rid of her torment.
:01:40
She has a right to rest her weary head
on a pillow each night

:01:45
and sleep the peaceful
sleep of the angels.

:01:49
H-How did you know
about my troubled sleep?

:01:52
Who told you?
:01:53
Her nights cannot
go on like this much longer.

:01:57
I-I never told a soul
about my nightmares.

:02:00
- How could you -
- Who is this person who arrives

:02:04
in our presence tonight,
but does not dare to come close to us?

:02:07
It's her. Its my sister, Harriet.
:02:12
- It must be.
- (Henry's Voice) She stays her distance,

:02:17
Julia Rainbird, for she does not feel
:02:19
your love or your kindness yet.
:02:22
There is selfishness where you are.
:02:25
I've had all I can take from her.
:02:28
Night after night, coming into my dreams.
:02:32
Whining, complaining,
trying to make me feel guilty,

:02:35
as though l need her
to tell me right from wrong.

:02:38
Tell her I know what has to be done.
:02:42
I've been wanting to do it for a year.
:02:46
But it is I, Julia Rainbird,
who has made the decision.

:02:51
(Sighing)
I don't need her to goad me on!

:02:54
They're making me ill
with their ugly words in my ugly dreams.

:02:59
Tell her to stop it,
to go away and leave me alone.
