(_MRS. LATTIN opens her eyes slowly. The DOCTOR, near the bed, is seen making a gesture with his arms as if lowering a curtain. MRS. LATTIN shows bewilderment._) _Mrs. Lattin_ (_Dreamily._) Where am I? Florence … Greece … Egypt … where are they? I am back again. But _who_ am I? _Doctor_ You are your Past. _Mrs. Lattin_ I slept? But yet I lived it. I understand at last. I have found life. _Doctor_ _You_ cannot die, nor can _you_ sleep. _Mrs. Lattin_ But time.… _Doctor_ Is the body’s measuring. [_She looks round the room, and finally into his face. He moves slowly backwards towards the door._ _Mrs. Lattin_ (_Thinking._) It was not a dream. I was in Greece with Phocion … with Paulo in Italy … with.… Oh, it is too long ago, too far away. It’s fading. (_Eagerly._) Oh, I would not forget! _Doctor_ The results lie in you. That is memory. _Mrs. Lattin_ Each time I injured … thwarted the highest in him by my selfish love. How small my love! Oh, tell me it is not now too late.… _Doctor_ (_By door._) There is no “too late.” What he could do without was added to him. You have taught Menophis, Phocion and Paulo to become … Phillip. [_He begins to fade._ _Mrs. Lattin_ (_Joyfully._) I understand at last, and I am healed. I delayed Menophis. I shall inspire Phillip. I shall go with him … back to … Egypt. Phocion, Paulo, how happy _they_ will be! _Doctor_ (_Almost invisible._) _He_ is coming now. I leave you. _Mrs. Lattin_ But _he_ must see you too.… _Doctor_ (_Invisible, only a voice heard._) He cannot. [_Door opens. PHILLIP enters quietly. He shows surprise at finding her sitting up. Her hands are stretched out towards the door where the DOCTOR has vanished. As he enters, the clock strikes the last three strokes of six o’clock._ _Phillip_ You rang. I just slipped back to see---- _Mrs. Lattin_ (_Low._) Phocion … my faithful.… _Phillip_ Eh? Are you all right? I mustn’t stay. Doctor Ogilvie will be here any minute. _Mrs. Lattin_ (_Low._) Paulo … my dear one.… I---- _Phillip_ (_Puzzled._) You slept a moment probably. Good! (_Startled by her happy expression._) You look … so much better! _Mrs. Lattin_ He came. And I am healed. [_NURSE enters hurriedly._ _Nurse_ (_Whispering to PHILLIP so that MRS. LATTIN does not hear._) Dr. Ogilvie has just telephoned. He is detained. He cannot get here till seven o’clock. _Phillip_ All right. Hush! [_Exit NURSE._ _Mrs. Lattin_ He told me … showed me … everything. _Phillip_ (_Humouring her._) He gave you hope--the best? I see it in your eyes. _Mrs. Lattin_ It’s not--_I_ am not--too late. That’s all. _Phillip_ Hush! Hush! Lie quiet a little longer. (_Goes on to ask, still humouring her._) You mean the doctor says----? _Mrs. Lattin_ I am so happy. I know and understand now. It’s glorious. _Phillip_
