Continuing Scene 111...
Now that Gabriel is gone, a new decision has got to be made about the lottery, she says. Bramwell becomes upset--surely you won't be involved in that any longer!--my wealthy relatives may permit their women to face danger, but not when it comes to having children!--if you talk to them... I will tell them nothing, she insists. I will not permit you to endanger my child! cries Bramwell. I will tell them nothing, she says--and I'm endangering no one --don't you understand, there is no real danger? People have died, gone mad, he reminds her--so, I have no choice but to do what you won't do--if necessary, Catherine, I will go to that house and tell them that you're having a child. You can't do that, she says--you gave me your word. I won't tell them the whole truth, just that you're pregnant, he says. Don't you see? she says--that IS telling them the whole truth--each of them will ask themselves how YOU came to know I was going to have a child--no, Bramwell, you can't stop me that way, or any other way--you must have faith in me--I have my own good reasons for what I'm going to do--and I intend to do it! Nearly crying, she leaves the house. Bramwell is perturbed.[/spoiler]
