Woman in Hiding Page #3

A marriage proposed the day

of the funeral.

Why didn't I see it?

All those months after father died.

All those months before we were married.

Why didn't that beginning as it did.

It had to end as it ended.

Things at the mill being what they are,

this isn't gonna be

the fanciest honeymoon in the world.

Don't worry, darling.

I take my honeymoons as they come.

I couldn't get you the biggest cabin of

the Smokies for a wedding present, but...

I did get you the one in

the highest mountain.

I love you.

There it is.

Does it look all right?

Oh, it's just so...

Darling.

I've used up all my words.

It was a wonderful wedding

and a wonderful ride...

Everything's so... so nice.

Well, what are you waiting for, Selden?

Aren't you going to carry the bride

over the threshold?

I drove up to be a reception committee.

You don't mind, do you?

Come on in, Mrs Clark.

He won't carry you.

He never was very gallant.

Selden, who is that?

Nobody you have to know.

Why, I'm Patricia Monahan,

of Raleigh.

You know. Where Selden goes

on all those little business trips.

Well, Mrs Clark, if you're not coming in,

I'll come out.

My shoes... isn't that a silly habit?

Taking off your shoes?

Of course, I'm very vain about my feet.

Selden always said I had

such pretty feet.

But that's not as good as having a mill,

is it, Selden?

Why you...

Oh, Selden... Stop it.

I'll kill you...

Selden, stop it.

Now get out.

It's been over a long time, Deb.

I told her we were finished.

You told me a lot of things.

You told me you were through

with her for good.

A year a go you told me.

Only her father died and it was

different again, wasn't it?

Wasn't it?

Phone for the police, Deborah.

You don't want her to hear that,

do you?

How her father hated you,

how he said he would throw you out of the

mill if you didn't stay away from her.

There's no reason

why we have to listen to this.

Stay away from that phone.

It's not that easy, Selden.

The world isn't being run just for you

even if old men who get in your way

die when you want them to.

Or is it when you push them?

Stay where you are!

Oh, I've thought of that, Selden.

Even if no one else has.

But that doesn't matter now

because you're not gonna have your precious

mill, or you precious bride or anything...

No, don't!

Here.

The key to this place.

I won't be using it anymore.

Deb, I...

I don't think I'll be using this either.

Oh, now, wait a minute, Deb.

I don't want to talk about it.

I just want to get away from here.

But you can't. You're my wife.

Your wife.

How long have I been in love with you?

Ever since I was a little girl.

Fifteen years, Deb.

Yes, that's too long
