Quote context

[...]

- And then I knew... the castle and its awful history had obsessed her.

- These very instruments of torture, which were my birthright and my curse, now tormented her, as well, infecting her with a kind of haunted fascination.

- I watched her drawn to one and then another as if the aura of pain and suffering which surrounded them was luring her to sickness and to death.

- Immediately I made my plans to leave the castle with her.

- We would travel for a while, restore her spirits, and then make our home elsewhere.

- Then, on the very eve of our departure... we heard a scream from below, the most hideous, blood-chilling scream I have ever heard in my life.

- Just before she died, she whispered a name: Sebastian. Sebastian. Sebastian.

- May I speak with you?

- Yes, of course.

- How is your brother?

- Better, thank you. Dr. Leon is staying with him.

- I have come to ask you to please believe him. He has told you the truth.
