They simply looked at one another for a few. payments. Then DORA softly kiss clear in the forehead as Clare closed her eyes, seemingly asleep. After a moment, DORA stumbled from the side of the bed back into Linda armies, it's possible that Linda knew the sisters drew strength from one another and wanted to break their spirits. So when Linda sensed Clare was about to slip away. She made sure that had happened in front of her sister

on May 19th, one thousand nine hundred and eleven DORA was in the sitting room when Linda came down the stairs with Claire in her arms. This time Claire attempted to speak to DORA she whispered. It's me: dory, but over the dying woman's quite words came. The booming voice of Linda Dory. Is that a pet name? What a lovely name? How do you spell? It Clare continue whisper, but Linda rambled, on drowning out Claire's weak voice, then to door, horror Linda asked, if she she would like a treatment door on this Linda Place clear in a bed and hammered her palm against her stomach, clear Rod and infantile cry and her eyes, Old, into the back of her head. she seemed to fallen, conscious and then door realized.

Instead, she orthe DORA to taking regular animas and subjected her again and again to the same violent massages that literally killed her sister with one sister taken care of and a series of forged documents granting her access to their wealth. Linda was determined. Push DORA even closer to death. Two nights after Claire died, Linda Dora sat together outside Linda pointed toward a deep ravine on the property mentioned another patients, suicide, DORA snap that this was highly inappropriate thing to say and might have her sisters.

First, one thousand nine hundred and eleven too late for Clair, but DORA was still alive and she needed help When Margaret arrived at the Sanitarium SAM Hazard told her plainly. Miss Claire has died and Miss DORA is helplessly insane Margaret, almost fainted, she had no idea that the sisters had been seeking medical treatment this entire time and was crushed to hear of Claire's She was also suspicious, especially when she met Linda, who seemed oddly unaffected by Claire's death.
