The Breath of Life

Frances Beale Madeleine Palmer

Text

Madeleine: Where is he?

Frances: Where is he?

Madeleine: Yes,

Frances: Seattle.

*Madeleine shrugs slightly. * Madeleine: Well, at least they have earthquakes in Seattle.

[... … …]

Madeleine: Status?

Frances: Unlikely.

Madeleine: Do you think status is what Martin wanted? After all, Lawyers are like priests over there. In America. Is that what drew him? Maybe he felt he could be nearer the centre of things.

Frances: Martin…

*They both smile at the unlikelihood of it. *
