-
You ought to give warning, sir.
-
This is Bertha Antoinetta Mason.
-
My wife.
-
Antoinetta. It's I, Richard.
-
She has her quiet times and her rages.
-
The windows are shuttered lest she throw herself out.
-
We have no furniture,
-
as she can make a weapon out of anything.
-
I take her for a turn upon the roof each day,
-
securely held, as she's taken to thinking she can fly.
-
My own demon.
-
Jane.
