7:30 - The clock strikes the half hour. Kendrick knocks at the drawing room doors. When Flora answers, he says, I'm glad to see you at home. You're wasting your time, says Flora, I have nothing to tell you. You're only one of the reasons I'm here tonight, he says--I've come to take Melanie out for the evening. You've come to what? demands Flora. I think you heard me the first time, he says. Impossible, says Flora--Melanie can't go anywhere with anybody. I'm not anybody, says Kendrick, I happens to love her very much--and I intend to help her--I would never harm Melanie. The harm has already been done, she says coldly. What does that mean? he asks. I think you'd best forget it, she says. What harm are you talking about? he asks--I want to know if it affects Melanie. Melanie isn't a normal girl, Flora reminds him--you've seen that for yourself, only my family can take care of her. The great Collins family, he mocks, that's why she runs frightened to her room every time because that's all she's ever seen. Whatever problems we have, she says sternly, we prefer to deal with ourselves. How can you deal with your troubles? he asks--you're building them on a wall of lies!--the truth has been missing from this house for so long, you can't recognize it--let me help you--perhaps we were enemies at one time, before I fell in love with Melanie, but now I realize we must work together and break down this door!--and let truth in--who killed my sister?--you know who she was acquainted with--who had reason to kill her? I assure you, says Flora, we know of no one who had reason to kill Stella. Perhaps there was no reason--perhaps it was a mindless, senseless act after all! suggests Kendrick. Gabriel did not do it, says Flora. Someone did--who?--who? demands Kendrick. I don't know, says Flora. First tell me where it happened, says Kendrick, and how! I can't tell you anything! says Flora.From the doorway, Melanie calls, "Mama--you had better tell him--I tried, but I couldn't--so you tell him--please!"
