Quote context

[...]

- You shouldn't have come here.

- Well, I'm very sorry, but really we couldn't help it.

- Oh I... I don't mean that. I was never inhospitable, never. This house was always filled with guests once upon a time.

- When you came, what did they tell you?

- Why, they told us you were an invalid.

- Was that all?

- You've seen my son Horace and his sister Rebecca.

- Yes.

- And Morgan.

- I would like to tell you all about it, but there may not be time. You see, when you're as old as I am, at any minute, you may just die.
