[0202] "Epilogue ^Appendix: [0203] Some 10 years later, when xxx
the memor she was quite gone from
memory, forgotten, she began - [0204] (Pause.)
[0205] Some 5 years later, when it was as
though she had never been, ^{as indeed of course she scarcely had,[⁁]} [⁁]^{[0205]but had she? [0205|001] (Pause.) [0205|002] Had
she? [0205|003] (Pause.) [0205] Some five years
later, when it was as though
she had never been,} [0205] she began
to walk. [0206] (Pause.) [0207] At nightfall. [0208] (Pause.)

[0209] She would enter the little church by the
south door, always closed at that hour,
and walk slowly up & down - (Pause.)
and walk up and down at normal walking
pace, neither fast nor slow, the corresponding
transept. [0210] (Pause.)

[0211] Sometimes she would
halt, like ^as one arrested by some thought,
and stand quite still more or less long -
(pause) - longly - (pause) - quite still
more or less longly before moving on again,
at the same speed. [0211|001] But not always. [0212] And
many were the evenings when her walk ^pacing
continued without interruption ^unbroken , until
she vanished xxx the way she had come.

[0213] (Pause.) [0213|001] The appearance. [0213|002] (Pause.) [0214] No sound
of course. ^{[0215] (Pause.) [0216] None at least to be heard.} [0217] (Pause.) [0218] The appearance. [0219] (Pause.)
[0224] Faint, but by no means invisible. [0225] (Pause.)
[0228] Grey rather than white, a light shade of grey.
[0229] (Pause.) [0230] xxxed Ragged. [0231] (Pause.) [0232] A
tangle of rags. [0233] (Pause.) [0233|001] Pale grey rags.
[0233|002] (Pause.) [0234] A faint tangle of pale grey rags.

[0236] Watch it - (Pause.) Watch her pass before
a candle ^candelabrum how the flame ... the flame ...
like moon through cloud ^cloud. [0237] (Pause.) [0237|001] Or mist.
[0238] So soon after having gone, as though
never been, began to walk, along
the southern transept, to and fro,
at nightfall. [0239] (Pause.) [0240] Nightfall.

[0241] (Pause.) [0242] That is to say, at certain
periods of the year, during evensong.
[0243] (Pause.) [0249] M^rs Winter, whom the reader
will remember, M^rs Winter, one October ^autumn
Sunday evening in October, on sitting
down to supper with xx with her daughter
after worship, after a few half-hearted
mouthfuls laid down her knife and
fork & gazed before her ^{bowed her head}.

[0250] What is it,
mother, said the daughter, a ^that very
strange girl - ^{though hardly a girl any more ...} (Brokenly) Terribly ^Dreadfully
unhappy ... [0252] (Normal voice.) [0253] What is
it, mother, are you not feeling well?

[0255] M^rs Winter did not at once reply. [0256] Then
finally, raising her head and fixing
Emily (?) - the daughter's given name,
as the reader will remember - fixing
Emily full in the eye, she said. ^{- (Pause.) she murmured.} Did
you notice ^{see notice} anything unusual in church
this evening? [0257] Emily: No, mother, I did
not.

[0258] M^rs Winter: Perhaps it was
just my imaginati fancy. [0259] Emily:
Just what, Mother, did you fancy it
xx xx it was. [0260] (Pause.) [0261] Just what, mother,
did you fancy you saw it was you
saw. [0263] Mrs Winter - [0262] (Pause) [0263] M^rs Winter:
And you noticed nothing?

[0264] Emily: Nothing
at all, mother, to put it mildly. [0268] I saw
nothing, heard nothing. [⁁]^{Nothing at all.} [0269] I was not there.
[0270] M^rs Winter: Not there? [0271] Emily: Not there.
[0272] M^rs Winter: But I heard you respond.
[0273] (Pause.) [0274] I heard you say Amen. [0275] (Pause.)
[0276] How could you have said Amen if,
as you claim, you were not
