I can stand no more. I am old. My heart is nearly worn out. If the storm unnerves me, I am undone. RACHAEL. Very well, mother. I will put my soul back in its coffin if I can. This is a favorable moment. There is a lull. Come here, Rachael. This house is old. The hurricane may uproot it. Like you, I am not afraid to die.
