Act 3, Scene 6 Flashcards
Gr: Him? Jeffery? This was his doing?
Mads: That’s what Brahm said.
What? Jeffery? No that doesn’t make sense. Why would he do that?
Gr: I know there was something off about him. What sort of man did you bring into the house this time?
Father no, it couldn’t have been him.
Gr: Well if he meant to rob us he didn’t do a very good job. He left the good silver and the candlesticks and the Monet that we tell everyone is a print.
Don’t be silly. Jeffery’s family gives him everything he wants. He doesn’t need to rob us, and why else would he possibly drug us.
Mads: Well I can think of a few reasons, but based on the condition of Ashley’s body, it seems like he had some darker desires.
Oh my. Well some of that was probably Lilith. Wait. Lilith! Where is Lilith?
Gr: I think I might have the answer….Helena, I am very sorry, Lilith.
Lilith ran off with Jefferey?
Gr: So it would seem.
That bitch!
Br: How far could they have gotten?
Gr: My boat was fully stocked . They could be leagues away by now…
Let me see that. I’ll be damned. Lilith ran off with my Jefferey. And here I was thinking she would ruin tonight by murdering him.
Br: So what should we do? Should we go after them?
No, No. Let them go. Clearly Jeffery and I were not meant to be.
Gr: I am so sorry Helena.
Don’t worry father. It’s alright. I was honestly hoping he would mean more to you than he did to me.
Gr: What do you mean?
I mean I know you wanted me to find someone before you could go back to the old country.
Gr: You knew about that?
Yes, father. I’ve known for ages. But I knew you could never go back while always looking over your shoulder, wondering if we were safe. You taught us that family comes first. So I focused on finding someone that would put your mind at ease. Jeffery seemed perfect. He was rich, kind, and had strong roots, all the traits I thought would make you happy.
Gr: But Helena, all I ever wanted was for you to be happy. It wouldn’t matter to me what kind of man you were with or if there was a man…
Well father, what would make me happiest, i think, would be to be on my own for once. To have my own place, to make my own decisions. To not be in your shado anymore. I just need some space.
