He is dressed in blackand the resemblance between
the two is uncanny. I hate whatswarped and twists and eats into itself and dies for
a lifetime inshadow.
She comesto the table and turns up the lamp.
Probably hed lived with one of the native women!
He stares at her andslowly a distorted look of
desire comes over his face.
So does Orin who uneasily comes toHazels
rescue.
Then he hears something and peers down the drive,
offleft. You know very well she has to force him towalk with you. Then he unlocks
the doorand comes back to his chair as Lavinia enters.
You watched him stare at your body through your
clothes, strippingyou naked!
The Mannon house hasmuch the same appearance as it
had in the first act of Homecoming. And you say there areno ghosts in this house? So
Im afraid you cant hope to get rid of me through Hazel.
Lavinias eyes are hard and defiant as she stares
back. Youd kill yourself if you werent acoward!
But Imthrough with you forever now, do you
hear?
The shutters are all fastened back, the
windowsopen.
I hate whatswarped and twists and eats into itself
and dies for a lifetime inshadow.
You know theres no rest in this house which
Grandfatherbuilt as a temple of Hate and Death!
Orin comes backto Lavinia who remains kneeling by
the chair. Probably hed lived with one of the native women!
Thats the evil destiny out ofthe past I havent
dared predict! Its wiser for you to keep Hazel away fromme, I warn you. Thats the
evil destiny out ofthe past I havent dared predict!
