SCENE 106
INT. SHIP’S CABIN—1901—NIGHT
IRMA is asleep, CHILD LETA awake on a lower bunk, and BABY CORVUS
screaming in his crib.
LETA (V.O.)
Irma was to pose as a grandmother with two grandchildren . . .
The lights suddenly flicker on and off—CHILD LETA hasn’t moved, she is still
looking at the screaming BABY CORVUS.
LETA (V.O.)
Corvus never stopped crying.
In the background there is a commotion as figures run along the corridor
outside the door. As CHILD LETA approaches BABY CORVUS, who continues
to cry, IRMA wakes. She goes to investigate the fuss and noise in the corridor.
LETA (V.O.)
I never wanted to hurt him.
CHILD LETA is transfixed by the baby.
LETA (V.O.)
I only wanted to be free of him. Just for a moment . . .
SCENE 107
