Daphne, now wearing a red dress of Vicki's, paces at Rose Cottage. She's placed Quentin's picture on the table and picks it up, exulting in the forgotten feeling of being alive--of having hope, of love--oh, Quentin, can there be any hope for this love of ours?--or must we be forever apart?--oh, Quentin, Quentin! (she's taken the bows from her hair, too.)[/spoiler]
We see the portrait of Angelique fade into the face of Alexis, who is admiring her dead sister's room. "It's exactly as you left it," says Hoffman hoarsely, "nothing has changed." Alexis gazes at her and asks, what are you talking about?--I've never been in this room before.Hoffman confidentially assures her, I understand about telling everyone you're a twin sister. But I am Angelique's sister, insists Alexis. Hoffman shakes her head--you don't have to lie to me--I always thought Angelique would come back... Alexis interrupts her--you thought Angelique would come back--that's impossible, she's dead! She is not like others, says Hoffman coldly. She certainly wasn't like anyone else, says Alexis--nevertheless, she is dead, do you hear me, she's dead, and I'm her sister--now if you would get me a nightgown, please, I'm very tired. Hoffman gives her a look, says "Certainly," then asks, which one would you like? I really can't answer that question, can I? she asks, I've never seen any of them--pick one out for me. Hoffman says of course, I'm sorry, Miss Stokes, if I said anything... It's all right, says Alexis, I understand how much you must miss her, but I wouldn't intimate such a thing to anyone else if I were you--they might be very distressed by it--and so might you. Hoffman gives her a weird look, then opens the closet and takes out a pink nightgown with furry shoulders. This was her favorite, she says. Thank you, says Alexis, it's lovely. Hoffman drapes it over a chair, gives Alexis one final look, and leaves. Alexis gazes up at Angelique's portrait.[/spoiler]
