I'm all in the dark.
[Lights on again.]
[In the interim, which is very short,
Cousin Fanny has gone over to the room on the left in which are John and
Mary Thinker, and sits in chair corresponding to one which she has just left.]
[She is silent and motionless, but her head is lifted; her eyes are open; she is alive again. When lights go on again, John and
Mary Speaker still stand before chair she has left as if she were in it; it is apparent that they believe themselves to be still looking at the old woman.]
Mary Speaker
Nonsense... all in the dark?... What do you mean by all in the dark?
John Speaker
Nothing... nothing now. It has passed....
[Pointing to chair where
Cousin Fanny was.] She died with a smile on her face!
John Thinker
