Edge of Madness Page #2

Uh... huh. Okay.

Very good.

Apart from the obvious,

physically she's strong and healthy.

The marriage was consummated,

although not kindly.

I want her to take one teaspoon

of this four times a day.

It'll help calm her nerves,

help her to sleep.

- It'll probably improve her memory.

- Mullen:
I should hope so.

- Ruth, get her dressed.

- Ruth:
She has nothing to wear.

Give her something

from my wife's closet then.

And leave the book!

Come. We'll dress you

like a lady.

Your first murder case,

Mr. Mullen.

I found it.

It's a bit worn.

Mr. Mullen's old work coat.

You need something.

That place is so cold.

- Is this your room?

- No.

Mrs. Mullen brought all

this furniture from England.

That's enormous.

Do you have some scissors...

and needle and thread?

I'll ask.

Mullen's voice:
"Tho' Women's minds,

like winter winds,

May shift, and turn,

an' a' that...

- The noblest breast..."

- Mr. Mullen.

She's quite different

since I gave her that medicine.

- She's talking.

- Good.

- "The noblest..."

- She wants scissors for sewing,

- you think that's safe?

- Yes, that's fine. Thank you.

Annie's voice:

"Dear Sadie,

except for the discomforts

of riding a horse,

I have never been so happy.

The country is magnificent.

I feel as though

my life has just begun.

Everything is new,

everything is possible.

As soon as I am settled,

I will send for you.

Perhaps you'll change

your opinion of marriage,

as there will be

a choice of eligible,

handsome men

in the district.

So far, Simon

has not spoken much.

He seems anxious

to get home."

- What are you doing?

- Writing about our journey.

Get your animal.

Follow me...

up on the path.

Simon:
Yah! Come on.

Yah!

Annie:
Simon!

Simon:
Yah!

Come on!

Get him going.

Get him across, for Christ's sake!

I can't!

Simon:
The supplies

are getting away! Hurry.

Get up!

Take off the blanket.

- What?

- I want to see you.

Not here.

Why not?

You're my wife.

- Yes, but...

- But what?

Simon:
It's your duty!

Ah! Damn rock.

Just do as I say.

We'll get on real good.

- Spread your legs.

- Wait.

No!

That's what men

and women do.

We did it just fine.

Next time you'll want it.

Good morning, Annie.

You want some nice,

warm porridge?

- George?

- No.

What have you done?

Wow...

Look at this fine work.

Yes, it's very nice.

Wow...

Mullen:
where did you

learn to do this?

At the school.

we all learned.

School,

you went to school?

Yes.

Did your husband

go to school as well?

No, he came and got me.

He wanted a wife and he chose me.

I see.

Sit down

and mind your business.

And where is

your homestead?

I don't know.

Annie:
Is that it?
