The Melodrama! So ends chapter 4.
↓ Transcript
Panel 1 [Lawrence splashes his face with water, bowed over the bowl]
LAWRENCE:
Listen to that drivel. You’re too old and too lettered to start getting romantic about a…floating abattoir.
Panel 2 [He pulls his hands down his wet face, looking exasperated at himself.]
LAWRENCE:
Well maybe I’m only going for self-destruction, then.
Panel 3 [He throws one arm to the side in a dramatic sweep as he turns back to his little room]
LAWRENCE:
All I’ve left to lose is my life, I suppose! Is it a holiday? Is it an elaborate suicide? Time will tell!
Panel 4 [Snow starts to fall outside and Lawrence looks over at it out the window]
Panel 5 [View from outside the boarding house looking in to his window. Lawrence is looking outside, one palm pressed to the glass]
LAWRENCE:
At least it’ll bring me somewhere warm for a turn.
Panel 6 [Long skinny panel showing a view of the darkened waterfront, going to sleep in the snowfall]
