Maggie, terrified, watches Stokes pet his gun. "You're going to kill him, aren't you?" she asks. Let's just say that once this evening is over, all our little scores will be settled, promises Stokes. Quentin, don't come in! screams Maggie--he's got a gun! Quentin, true to form, bursts in anyway, running to Maggie's side--are you all right? he asks. I am, she assures him. Whatever our differences, Stokes, it's between the two of us, says Quentin--let Maggie go, I'll stay. Quentin, objects Maggie. You'll both stay, says Stokes--has Angelique's body been cremated yet? Yes, says Quentin. You must feel very satisfied, says Stokes. I don't feel anything, says Quentin, I'm just glad it's over. It's not over yet, says Stokes, I intend to finish what Angelique started--I restored her to life, she was determined to resume her rightful place as mistress of Collinwood--unfortunately, now it's not possible for her to be with you--but it's quite possible for you to be with her. Quentin, he's going to kill you, says Maggie in a hushed voice. Don't be a fool, says Quentin---you'll never get away with it. I'm not trying to get away with anything, says Stokes, I have nothing to lose, and very little to gain except the satisfaction of seeing you dead--in life, they say a man's is judged by his achievements--my crowning achievement was the restoration of Angelique, and you destroyed it! He closes the doors and holds the gun on Quentin--I live now, Quentin, only to see you die, says Stokes.[/spoiler]
