Fanny by Gaslight Page #9

---

woman who believes in him,

who can give him affection,

tenderness, understanding.

And death?

No. I can give him life.

You heard what Dr Lowenthal said.

I can help Harry to live.

A woman like you.

Not a woman like me. Me.

Miss Somerford, even if I were

everything you thought, does it matter?

Does anything matter now, except

that I can help Harry to live?

I'd rather he died than go back to the

kind of life he was living with you.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm just seeing you for the first time.

Seeing through you.

You're jealous of me because no man

will ever need you as Harry needs me.

Till now I've refused to marry him

because of you and what you stood for.

But you don't stand for anything at all.

You don't want Harry to have a wife and

a home and children, except on your terms.

His happiness doesn't count.

You don't even care if he dies,

so long as he dies on your terms.

But he isn't going to die.

He's going to live. He's going to

have a wife and home and children.

Yes, I can give him life.

It's you who can only give him death.

And you know it.

Go to him, mon enfant.

Only you can help him now.

Harry, it's Fanny.

I'm with you.

I'm never going to leave you again.

You're going to get well.

You're going to live.

Harry, do you hear?

You're going to live.

Harry, we're going to be married.

We're going to be married.

We're going to have a home and children.

You're going to get well.

You're going to live.
