Constable Carter arrests Roger for possession of illegal mustard.
She opens her purse--the keys are there! She also finds the diamond and emerald earrings. Josette's music begins to play. Joe swears he didn't give her the earrings; he couldn't have afforded them. Sam couldn't, either--how did they get into her purse? Joe suggests she ask Sam, and if he didn't give them to her, turn them over to the police--she'll get them back if no one claims them. Maggie admires them in the light and says the woman who wore them must be beautiful. All you need is money, remarks Joe, but Maggie says she thinks of someone lovely, elegant and--sad owned them. Joe says she has sentiment and imagination, but she says they remind her of something she's forgotten. Joe tells her to put them safely away so they can go out, but Maggie feels compelled to put them on.[/spoiler]
She lies on her bed, falls asleep, then begins to dream. The double doors at Collinwood open; Jeb comes out, dressed in a suit. Carolyn, on the dark landing, drifts downstairs in a lovely wedding gown and veil, holding a bouquet. Everything is ready, says Jeb. In a moment, I'll be Mrs. Jeb Hawkes, she whispers. Come with me, says Jeb, offering his arm. She takes it and they go into the drawing room. Nicholas Blair, wearing his black robe, holding the scepter, awaits them. Carolyn, disturbed, asks--what is he doing here? He's going to perform the ceremony, says Jeb. I don't want him to, insists Carolyn--he frightens me. No one is going to harm you, Jeb assures her--Nicholas won't. Good evening, greets Nicholas. Hello, says Carolyn. Nicholas compliments her beauty and says, if you are both ready, we can begin. We can't, says Carolyn, my parents aren't here, and we can't begin without them. Your mother doesn't approve of the marriage, says Jeb, and won't be here. My father will--we must wait for him, says Carolyn. You know your father is dead, Jeb reminds her. No! I can't believe that, cries Carolyn. Believe it, because it's true, says Jeb--do you understand? Yes, she replies. Begin the ceremony, says Jeb--you and I will be together very soon. She smiles and agrees--very soon. Nicholas raises the scepter and intones--Prince of Darkness, I call upon the flame to summon you, beseeching all the dark creatures of nature to help summon you, for you must be a witness to this ceremony, give your blessing to these two creatures who shall become your obedient servants. What is he saying? she asks--I've never heard a marriage ceremony like this! Be silent, says Jeb. Nicholas continues--I summon you in the name of the seven plagues, in the name of the charred and blackened stars that reigned at my beginning to rise out of the darkness of the earth. Carolyn grips Jeb's hand and says, I can't go through with it--I'm too frightened. Let him finish, says Jeb. Thunder and lightning fill the room; the lights go out. Only burning candles remain. Carolyn, terrified, asks what's happening. I don't know, says Jeb.[/spoiler]
