Beth has packed her belongings in a suitcase, which she closes. She glances through the window.and begins tying a hat on her head. Quentin comes in, joyously holding and pawing her. "You decided to come with me, eh?" he asks. Yes, she says, pulling away from him. You don't sound very enthused, he complains. Beth turns to look at him, then asks, why do you want me to go with you? That's obvious, he says, for a long time--"I love you, Beth." I've been thinking about us since the other night, she says, and if we are going away, you must be honest--you don't want me along because you love me, because I'm not sure you love me--or anyone (wise gal). Quentin doesn't answer, but turns away from her when he denies what she said. You want me with you, says Beth, because you're the kind of person who can't ever be alone or do anything alone--people mean nothing to you, you use them and when you're tired and bored, you discard them in favor of new ones. If that's the way you feel, he asks gently, why have you decided to come with me? I love you, she says, and care about what happens to you--every instinct tells me not to go, but I'm going anyway. He takes her in his arms and assures her, you won't regret it, then plants a big kiss on her. I'll take you back to the carriage, he says. I have something to do, she says, a personal matter in Collinsport. There isn't time, he says desperately--it will be dark soon, we must leave. Beth, however, insists, I must go.[/spoiler]
The cat fight is interrupted by a knock at the door. It's Prof. Stokes,looking for Julia. He is glad to see her, and says he was playing chess with a friend of his, and the friend was taken ill. He wants Julia to come with him. He notices how upset she is, and she says he must find someone else. No, he insists, I can't. She says she's just come in from a case, she'll find him someone else, she says distractedly, and Cassandra tries to plead exhaustion on Julia's behalf-she's been saying incredible things to her tonight and she thinks Stokes had better not bother her. "Yes, and you know that exactly, don't you?" Julia says as Stokes gazes back and forth between the two women. Cassandra tells Julia to get some sleep and heads upstairs, telling Stokes she's sorry she can't help him. Stokes and Julia go into the drawing room and he closes the doors. He is perplexed, and she says she's had enough. He tells her the patient is Adam, and she must come. He's had a strange attack-I think he's dead--think it, but don't believe it-you must come.[/spoiler]
