from Final Scene, draft 2:
SARAH
But that didn't stop me. Wanting him. Loving him.
BEAT
I would have given up all I have just for one night – one hour. Even knowing I was nothing to him but a passing fancy. I would have gone away after, without a word of complaint. I would have left the South Riding.
BEAT
As it happens, he never so much as kissed me.
EMMA
Why are you telling me this?
SARAH
Because you loved him too. Because he didn't kill himself. He wasn't a tragic figure. Just a confused one – out of his time. Sometimes he seemed to me like a ghost.
