CHRISTINE--Vinnie, I--I must speak with you a moment--now Orin is here. I appreciate your grief has made you--not quite normal--and I make allowances. But I cannot understand your attitude toward me.

[...]

End:

(Then, as Lavinia remains silent, Christine gives way to fury and rushes down the steps and grabs her by the arm and shakes her.) Answer me when I speak to you! What are you plotting? What are you going to do? Tell me!
