Section 2 Flashcards
Right away, sir!
Good God! Just an hour in to the engagement party and already there’s been a murder! (Turns sharply to the door.) Florence!
Charley!
Get out Florence! You can’t be in here.
No! I can’t believe what I’m seeing. My god he looks so frail lying there.
I’m sorry, Florence, it’s a shock to all of us.
Right away, sir! Oh my god! He’s drunk the whole bottle, sir! There’s not a drop left! There’s not a drop left!
Hang it all! There’s another on the shelf!
His skin is cold to the touch.
No, don’t touch him Florence!
Oh Charles! One last embrace!
I cannot bear to see my sister in such grief!
I must!
You mustn’t!
Brother? Dead! It can’t be!
Calm yourself, Cecil. Pour him a stiff drink, Perkins.
Thank you, Perkins.
It’s unthinkable! Right here in his own private rooms at Haversham Manor.
He was a good brother. That’s the best whiskey I’ve ever tasted!
Have another, to calm your nerves.
Thank you, Perkins.
Make it a double!
Of course, sir! Yes, this one is full!
This is horrifying! I mean, who on earth would have a motivation to murder Charles Haversham?
Oh! My Charles! My Charles! My head is spinning! I’m going to become hysterical!
Calm down, Florence.
It’s true, his smile was often just a (reads from his hand) facade. I was fortunate enough to be one of the only people he truly confided in. I’ve lost a real friend today.
We all have, Perkins. Hang it, I knew Charles ever since school.
Perkins is right, my brother was hiding a deep sense of melancholy and resentment. There’s no doubt in my mind, it was suicide.
Suicide, Cecil? How can you say that! Of course not; it’s murder. Murder in the first degree!
