TRANSCRIPT
"What a lark!"
"What a plunge!"
"For it had always seemed to her, when a little squeak of the hinges..." "...she had burst open the French windows and..." How is it possible?
A woman who's capable of such joy, such - What's the word?
Genius... ...could place a stone in her pocket and wade into an icy river... How is it possible?
...letting the water cover her head - -Like a quilt?
- Like a comforter?
- Is it possible?
- How is it possible?
-One more page.
So I can find myself.
- One more page.
So I can lose myself.
