Tilda's Father：Adam! Good god.?I have just been recounting your astonishing adventure.?Please, join us. Get him a chair.

Adam：Ah. No, no. Thank you, I...I cannot stay.

Tilda's Father：What are you doing here? I thought the doctor said at?least three weeks in bed?

Adam：He did, but this... couldn't wait.?I need to speak with you, sir. Privately.

Tilda's Father：Of course.?Excuse me.?Is that the contract from Reverend Horrox?

Adam：It is indeed.

Tilda's Father：Well, you know, I could have sent a boy.

(Adam threw the contract into the fire.)

Tilda's Father：Are you insane?!

Adam：I owe my life to a self-freed slave.?And I cannot, in good conscience, participate in this kind?of business any longer.

Boy：This would make such a good book.

Luisa：I'll drink to that.

Timothy：Outside, fat snowflakes are falling on slate roofs and?granite walls.?Like Solzhenitsyn laboring in Vermont, I shall?beaver?away?in exile.?Unlike Solzhenitsyn, I shan't be alone.

Tilda's Father：Goddamn you, sir. If you were not my?daughter's husband...

Tilda：Hello, father.

Tilda's Father：Tilda??What's going on?

Tilda：I've come to say goodbye.

Tilda's Father：Goodbye? Where are you going?

Adam：We're moving back East, to work with the abolitionists.

Tilda's Father：What??That poison has rotted your brain.

Adam：Well, if it has, I highly recommend it.?I've not felt this good in years.

Tilda's Father：Tilda, I forbid you from going anywhere with this madman.

Tilda：I've been afraid of you my whole life, father.?I'm going with my husband.

Tilda's Father：Adam.?Listen to me.?For the sake of my grandson, if not your own.?There is a natural order to this world.?And those who try to upend it, do not fare well.?This movement will never survive.?If you join them, you and your entire family will be shunned.?At best, you'll exist as pariah, to be spat on and beaten.?And the worst, lynched or crucified.?And for what??For what??No matter what you do, it will never amount to?anything more?than a single drop in a limitless ocean.

Adam：But what is an ocean... but a multitude of drops?
