Laura's bedroom - She lies on the floor, unconscious. Dirk enters, kneels beside her, lifts her into his arms and carries her to the bed. I don't understand, he says. She regains consciousness and says, there's no need to understand, come closer, she orders. I've been speaking foreign words that make no sense, he says. She grabs his lapels. "Come closer to me," she orders. I shouldn't be here, says Dirk. Do you want to leave? She asks. No, he says, I want to stay and help you--I don't know why. Because I'm going to die, she says. You can't, you won't, he promises. You have the power to save me, says Laura. Dirk doesn't believe that. Look deep in your soul, she tells him, you'll know, you must do something, there's very little time. I don't know what to do, he says desperately--I don't know what to do!He draws her into his arms, calls her name in a rough voice. You do have the power, she says--only you can restore me! No! he cries, it's impossible. Look inside yourself, and you will see the flame of eternal life. He holds her closely, promising he will never let her go--I don't want to lose you. Use your power, cries Laura, don't let me die! He clasps her tightly in his arms.[/spoiler]
The thing I like about your work is that it's thorough, says Burke, handing the other man what looks like a legal document--you never ask any questions. That's what I'm paid for, says Blair. Good, says Burke. You must have noticed that the only property that has a mortgage is the big house itself--Collinwood. Carolyn watches. I suppose pride prevented them from putting that up for hock, says Burke. Not at all, says Blair--Mr. Harris said that Mrs. Stoddard inquired about borrowing on it, but it's not an asset--more like a liability. That's interesting, says Burke. Who'd want it? asks Blair--big house like that, unless somebody wanted to turn it into a resort hotel or something--not too long ago, Mrs. Stoddard put in a petition for the property tax to be reduced--the reason for it was that half of the house is shut off and nothing used. The petition was granted, I suppose, asks Burke. Yes it was, Blair tells him. I'm not surprised, says Burke bitterly, that family owns everything there is to own in that town--except me.[/spoiler]
