[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #1233 (1841PT) - Bramwell - 'Dr. Fletcher suggested that we get someone in for consultation, but he didn't hold out much hope--we MUSTN'T fool ourselves.'
From "Re#1232/1233: Robservations 01/07/04: Daphne Falls Ill"
The doctor was just here! says Catherine--what did he say? Bramwell doesn't answer. Tell me what the doctor said, she commands. "He was certain only of one thing," says Bramwell--"Daphne is dying."
Catherine shakes her head--no, it can't be true! I'd give me life to make it a lie, he says, but it is true--when Mother told me the news, I went to see Dr. Fletcher myself--he doesn't know what's wrong with her. Doesn't know? says Catherine--he's a doctor, of course he knows (spoken like a doctor's daughter). He wasn't able to diagnose the illness, says Bramwell, he could only tell that she is dying--all the vital life signs are weakening, she hasn't the will to fight--unless the situation changes soon, she will not have very much time. It can't be true, insists Catherine--she's so young, she's never been sick before in her life. I know, says Bramwell--if this happens to her, then I will be responsible. Why? asks Catherine. I married her, then completely neglected her, he says--I've given her nothing to live for, and now she's dying. You mustn't blame yourself, says Catherine. But I do, he says--last night I came home with such good news--my ship had arrived--I now have as much wealth as I'd ever want, now it means nothing to me--I would gladly give it all up if I thought it would make her well again. Catherine rises from the sofa--if anyone is to blame, I am, she says--the way I've treated her since she married you--she must think I hate her by now. The fact is, says Bramwell, you are right, Daphne should have listened to you--I married Daphne because I was hurt and angry at you--but now, I feel very deeply toward her--do you believe that? Yes of course I do, says Catherine, I believe it--what I don't believe is that she is going to die--we must find another doctor, we must find someone to help her. Dr. Fletcher suggested we get someone in for consultation, says Bramwell, but he didn't hold out much hope--we mustn't fool ourselves. Does she know? asks Catherine. No, she has no idea, he says. Poor Daphne, laments Catherine, shaking her head, my poor sister--she hasn't even lived!--and now she's... She begins to cry. Bramwell starts to reach out to touch her, comfort her, then withdraws his hands without making contact and walks away.
