WOMAN
Yes?
What's your business here?
HARTRIGHT
We are representatives of Sir Percival Glyde
We're here to see Anne Cattrick.
MARIAN
I feel so nervous
HARTRIGHT
You've been so brave
MARIAN
There is something
I must say to you
Something i've held deep inside for so long
WOMAN
Only one of you
(the woman leads marian through the patients in the asylum to Anne)
Cattrick
You can have five minutes
Not that you'll get much sense from her
MARIAN
(marian approaches anne)
Anne?
Anne Cattrick
(Marian realizes that it is infact her sister Laura and not Anne Cattrick)
MARIAN
Laura?
LAURA
Marian? MARIAN!
(They embrace)
HARTRIGHT
How can this be?
LAURA
They held me down and drugged me
They dressed me in Anne's clothing
MARIAN
I was sure I heard some screaming
But they told me I was dreaming!
LAURA
They brought me here that evening
Underneath a cloud of darkness
Though I told them who I was
There was no one who believed me!
MARIAN
Then it was Anne they buried
Claiming it was you!
LAURA
What?
HARTRIGHT
There isn't time now
We must get out of here!
We've got to stop Glyde before he gets away!
I will redeem this pledge
LAURA
Marian I don't understand!
What have they done to Anne!
Tell me!
MARIAN
Oh Laura I am so sorry!
Anne Cattrick is dead!
LAURA
What?
MARIAN
I believe they killed her
HARTRIGHT
And put you in this asylum in her place
LAURA
Please God No!
MARIAN
Laura I am so sorry
LAURA
Then her secret has gone with her to the grave!
MARIAN
We musn't think about this now
We have to get you to safety
LAURA
But we must know her secret
HARTRIGHT
She's right
We have to go to Limmeridge
MARIAN
Limmeridge?
HARTRIGHT
We are but three miles away
And your uncle knows more than he's admitting
It's time for him to tell the truth!
