Jessica!
:12:12
Take Mrs. Holland to her room, Alma.
:12:15
Come, Miss Jessica. Come with Alma.
:12:18
I heard someone crying, a woman.
:12:20
A woman crying?
There's been no crying here.

:12:24
Mr. Paul, yes, there was crying tonight.
:12:26
It was Alma,
her sister was brought a-birthing.

:12:29
Thank you, Clement.
:12:49
Clement, I'm going to stay
with Miss Jessica...

:12:52
in case the nurse lady
takes to roaming again.

:12:54
Don't you go crying anymore.
That's what frightened Miss Betsy.

:12:57
She didn't soothe me any,
hollering around in the tower.

:13:03
Why was the maid crying?
:13:05
I'm not sure I can make you understand.
:13:07
Do you know what this is?
:13:10
- A figure of Saint Sebastian.
- Yes.

:13:13
But it was once the figurehead
of a slave ship.

:13:15
That's where our people came from...
:13:17
from the misery and pain of slavery.
:13:19
For generations, they found life a burden.
:13:21
That's why they still weep when a child
is born and make merry at a burial.

:13:29
I've told you, Miss Connell,
this is a sad place.

:13:50
Good morning, miss.
:13:52
Thank you for waking me.
:13:54
I didn't want to frighten you
out of your sleep, miss.

:13:56
That's why I touched you
farthest from your heart.
