Serena

Apparently starving oneself is called dignity these days. I have none, so I'm still full.

• GabrielShall I come ask in person where that fullness came from?
  SerenaCome as far as the door. Just don't cross the threshold.
  GabrielI crossed it last time.
• MargueritePropriety reaches even into the coffin, Serena.
  Serena...Yes, Mother.

The east room's curtain was open a hand's width. Don't tell anyone I closed it on my way out.

• NinaHuh? I thought I closed that this morning.
  SerenaYou must have closed it. That's a maid's work.
  NinaI haven't said a word yet.
• BartholtDid you leave the silver cross as it was?
  SerenaI'm not idle enough to bother touching it.
