Melanie sits with her father. I can tell you're feeling better, she says--would you like me to read more to you? He shakes his head. The storm, she says--tomorrow, it will be a lovely day, Papa. She gazes out the window, opens it, and spots the apparition of the woman in white. What? asks Justin, sensing her fear. It was nothing she says, the lightning, so close it frightened me. The...woman...in...white! he struggles to mutter. No, it wasn't, she lies. He struggles out of bed, despite her insistence the doctor told him not to. I've got to see! he insists, stumbling across the floor. Melanie tries to make him get into bed, but he looks out the window, and says, she is here--she has come for me.You didn't see her, says Melanie, it was an illusion, that all. Once before, when father died, I saw her standing there, says Justin, I'm not ready to die, I won't! You have to live, you have to! cries Melanie.[/spoiler]
