Beth is in bed (very sick), enjoying what Jo is reading to her. JO: Mr. Pickwick changed colour. 'Ah,' said Mr. Wardle. 'Well, that's important. There was nothing suspicious then, I suppose?' BETH: I feel stronger with you close by. JO: We're going to get you better yet. BETH: If God wants me with him there is none who will stop him (beat). I don't mind. I was never like the rest of you, making plans about the great things I'd do. I never saw myself as anything much. I'm not a great writer like you. JO: Oh beth, I'm not a great writer. BETH: But you will be (beat). Oh, Joe, I've missed you so (beat). Why does everyone want to go away? I love being home, but I don't like being left behind. Now I am the one going ahead. I am not afraid. I can be brave like you, but I know I shall be homesick for you - even in heaven. JO: Oh Beth no! I won't let you go. BETH: Oh my Jo. A gust of wind comes in the open window. Jo goes over to close it, and stairs out the window for a minute. When she turns back around, Beth has died.
