Cassandra must have set him loose.
Lawrence
Or it was the spirits!
*Victoria giggles*
Lawrence
Don’t laugh at me.
Victoria
It was funny. You’ve always been so funny.
*She tries going in for a kiss and he pulls away*
Victoria
Tease! What’s wrong?
Lawrence
What’s wrong? I leave for a little while and you can’t stop yourself from hoping into someone else’s bed?
Victoria
I wasn’t in anybody else’s bed.
Lawrence
Oh? You’re allowed to take gentleman callers in your own room now? My, my how things have changed.
Victoria
You weren’t gone for just “a little while”, Lawrence. It was for 6 months. AND It was your honeymoon.
Lawrence
Just a business trip with exercise.
Victoria
Is that all I was?
Lawrence
Never. But you promised me you would be careful.
Victoria
And you said you’d do right by me should the worst occur.
Lawrence
I meant something like your father going bankrupt or a lawsuit or something. This is hardly the worst thing.
Victoria
Then what is it?
Lawrence
Inconvenient.
There’s something very wrong about the Veil homestead. Upstate New York, post WW1 and the world is in shambles. A young lawyer must make his return as the past seeks to entangle him and every member of the Veil family yet again. A show filled with faith, temptation, and sin.
Language Note: There are times when the characters speak in German and the appropriate translation for each sentence is included. Some of the phrases are simple, but it is allowed for the director to have them recited in English as they deem appropriate.
