...after the Duelling Oaks.
1:29:02
- Don't tell about that, Cathy...
- Mrs. Holly, don't interrupt.

1:29:07
After that happened...
1:29:09
...the next morning,
I started writing my diary...

1:29:13
...in the third person singular,
such as:

1:29:15
"She is still living this morning."
1:29:19
Meaning that I was.
1:29:21
"What's next for her? God knows."
1:29:25
I couldn't go out anywhere.
1:29:28
That's true.
She wouldn't leave her room.

1:29:30
Shut up, Mama.
1:29:32
I would write,
"She woke up early this morning.

1:29:36
She had her coffee, dressed...
1:29:39
...went for a brief walk."
1:29:40
- Who did?
- She did.

1:29:44
I did.
1:29:46
From Esplanade
to Canal Street...

1:29:49
...as though being pursued
by a pack of Siberian wolves.

1:29:53
Went through all the stop signs.
Couldn't wait for the green signals.

1:29:57
"Where did she think she was going,
back to the Duelling Oaks?"

1:30:04
Everything...
1:30:06
...chilly and dim.
1:30:09
But that hot...
1:30:11
...ravenous mouth.
1:30:13
He was a very ordinary married man.
1:30:15
And then?
1:30:18
One morning, Cousin Sebastian
came in and said, "Get up."

1:30:22
Well, if you're still alive after
dying, then you're obedient. I got up.

1:30:27
He took me down to a place
where they take passport photos.

1:30:31
He said, " Mother can't go
with me this summer.

1:30:34
You're going with me this summer,
instead of Mother."

1:30:37
- Except that it was her idea, not his.
- Mrs. Venable.

1:30:41
And your cousin?
1:30:43
He helped bring me back to life...
1:30:46
...in Paris, Barcelona, Rome.
1:30:48
All those lovely foreign cities
I'd never seen, we saw together.

1:30:52
And those...
What did he call them?

1:30:55
Those sunshine days...
1:30:57
...where it's always noon,
and we cast no shadows.
