:40:00
Sometimes at night, I tend her.
I help her when she feels ill.
:40:06
- I loosen the nightgown at her throat.
- At her throat.
:40:08
That you remember.
Can you remember dreams?
:40:11
Can a Vorvolaka in her human form
remember the evil that she did at night?
:40:15
How can you be so sure?
:40:19
This much we know: You walk at night.
:40:22
You arise in the morning
refreshed and filled with life...
:40:25
and your friend,
every day she goes paler, listless, weaker.
:40:30
It is best that you stay away
from the others.
:40:42
I hope that I'm wrong.
:40:43
I hope that everything that Kyra said
is untrue...
:40:46
but until I know, I must watch you.
:41:04
Mrs. St. Aubyn, were you ill before?
:41:07
- Before?
- Before I came to work for you?
:41:10
Yes, I was ill for a long time before.
:41:13
But since I came, you've been worse?
:41:17
Yes, that was to be expected.
:41:24
Why do you ask, Thea?
:41:27
You're not thinking that you're at fault?
It isn't that, is it?
:41:32
I thought I had given you
something better to hold on to...
:41:35
than those silly stories of evil spirits
and malignant forces...
:41:39
that you heard in your home village.
:41:41
But you do grow worse, weaker.
:41:43
But that's not your fault, child.
It couldn't be.
:41:46
It's very simple.
:41:49
My illness is incurable.
Naturally, it grows worse as time goes on.
:41:52
Could it be my spirit?
:41:55
Something over which
I myself have no force or will?
:41:57
You are good, Thea, kind and generous.
