CHAPTER 7
Storyboard Text
- 'I thought,' ' I thought that if I could leave my baby with you, and borrow yours —'
- 'It would only be for a day or two; just while I could get the certificate,' 'You are my sister, Emily — my sister, and the only person in the world who can help me to keep my baby.'
- ' I'd like to know why you have come here, Harriet? Why did you bring it here?'
- A few minutes have passed and Emily was still yelling at her sister telling her how crazy she sounds. Then Jacob entered the room and Emily turn to Jacob and told him:
- , 'but it's Harriet, my dear.'
- 'Send her away. Tell her to leave the house — and take that with her.'
- 'Why should I? I've done nothing to be ashamed of. I am not ashamed — I am only beaten.'
- 'Very well — I understand. I'll go now,'
- Emily explained the whole situation to Jacob so he can fully understand.
- ' I do not understand how you dared to come here, to a God-fearing house, with such a suggestion,''Worse still, you don't show an atom of shame or remorse.'
- 'I shall pray God to send charity into this hideous world, and sympathy for the weak, and love for the unhappy and unfortunate. I shall ask Him if it is indeed His will that a child should suffer and its soul be damned for a little blemish of the body. . . . And I shall pray Him, too, that the hearts of the self-righteous may be broken....'
- ' You have much to pray for. Not only have you blasphemed by producing a false image, but in your arrogance you have set yourself against the law, and sinned in intent.'
- Jacob kept on telling Aunt Harriet, that she should be ashamed of what she is doing.
- She is a dangerous as well as a shameless woman; I could never have believed such wicked-ness in a sister of yours. And for her to think that you might abet her, when she knows that you yourself have had to make your own penances twice! To speak heresy in my house, too. That cannot be allowed to pass.'
- 'Then it is time she did. It is our duty to see that she does.'
- Aunt Harriet left and Jacob turned to Emily and said:
- 'Perhaps, she did not realize what she was saying,'
- The next day Aunt Harriet body was found in the river.
