They’re the most important event that’s taken place in this house in eighty years.

You were once children. Now, Winnie, you are about to become a woman. One day, you’ll grow up and you’ll do something important. You’ll have children, maybe. And you, Lena, are already a woman. You are on your way to making a name for yourself and understanding more about what it means to be an adult. You’ve taken care of Winnie as if she were family to you. You’ve greatly matured from the young girl you once were. And then one day, you’ll both go out…just like the flame of a candle. You’ll make way for new life. That’s a certainty. That’s the natural way of things.
