He lifted me in his arms
and started carrying me.

:14:11
Somehow he stumbled on those steps.
:14:14
We fell, and I got away from him.
:14:16
Suddenly I remembered Robert's revolver
in the drawer of that chest.

:14:20
He got up and ran after me,
but I reached it before he could catch me.

:14:23
I seized the gun as he came toward me.
:14:25
I heard a report and saw him lurch
toward the door.

:14:29
It was all instinctive.
I didn't even know I'd fired.

:14:32
Then I followed him out to the veranda.
:14:35
He staggered across the porch,
grabbed the railing...

:14:39
...but it slipped through his hand,
and he fell down.

:14:42
Don't remember anything more,
just the reports, one after another...

:14:46
...till there was a funny little click,
and the revolver was empty.

:14:50
It was only then I knew what I'd done.
:14:56
My poor darling.
:14:58
-Mrs. Crosbie--
-How did the revolver happen to be there?

:15:02
When I leave Leslie alone...
:15:04
...I always feel safer
if she has a weapon handy.

:15:06
I saw that it was loaded before I left,
and thank heaven I did.

:15:10
Mrs. Crosbie, may I say that I think
you behaved magnificently?

:15:13
I'm terribly sorry that we had to put you
through the ordeal of telling us all this.

:15:18
You're all very kind.
:15:19
It's quite obvious the man only got
what he deserved.

:15:23
If you'll come with me,
I'd like to look around.

:15:25
Yes, of course.
:15:28
Be back in a few minutes.
:15:31
My poor child.
:15:33
Robert, what have I done?
:15:35
You did what every woman
would have done in your place.

:15:38
Only nine-tenths of them
wouldn't have had the courage.

:15:41
And yet I'd give almost anything
in the world to bring him back to life.

:15:45
It's so horrible to think
that I killed him.
