Sit down, says Morgan--I must warn you. About what? she asks. You will feel impelled to ask questions, and I must ask you to refrain from doing so, at least until tomorrow, he says. I'll do whatever you ask me to do, she says. As the oldest son, I've inherited certain responsibilities, he says, one of these is most serious, and must be carried out this evening--I want you to promise that if anything happens to me... Happens to you?--what? she asks, concerned. I didn't mean to put it that way, he says, what I'm trying to say is, if I act any different tomorrow, you must not marry me.She regards him with shock.[/spoiler]
Not marry you? she asks--why should you be any different tomorrow than you are tonight? You promised not to ask any questions, he reminds her. Are you in some sort of trouble? she asks. Of course not, he says. But you're so distressed--I want to help you, she says. There's nothing you can do to help, he says, if there were, you know I'd let you know. But you can't keep me in the dark like this, it's not fair! she protests. Catherine! he says, you must not ask anymore questions. You're going to tell me what's wrong before I leave here tonight, she insists. You're a very strong-willed young woman, he says, very well--he sits her down--you're going to know sooner or later, I might as well tell you now.
