Scene: The Ballroom

Are you my Uncle Archibald?
Who's that?
It's Mary Lennox, sir
Are you my Uncle Archibald?
Yes, I am, good morning child
Are you going to be my father now?
I am your guardian, though I am a poor one for any child
I offer you my-
Is this my Aunt Lily in this picture?
Yes it is, where did you get that?
Is she a ghost now?
Why, have you heard her?
I heard someone crying in the house last night, but I don't know anything about ghosts
Is my father a ghost now?
Does everyone who dies become a ghost?
They're only a ghost if someone alive is still holding onto them
I offer you my deepest sympathies on your arrival
Did my mother have any other family?
