Scenes with Sister Abigail
3 scenes Sister Abigail Sister Abigail Sister Abigail I'm afraid I may have made a mistake. There could be something wrong with Esther.
What? What do you mean? You told us that you'd never had any trouble with her.
Sister Abigail I didn't. But trouble does have a way of finding her.
What kind of trouble?
Sister Abigail Two girls get into a fight, there she is. Someone gets caught stealing, there she is again.
So, does that mean-?
Sister Abigail After you told me about the girl in the playground, I called her old school. While she was there, there was a boy who fell with a pair of scissors in his hand and accidentally stabbed himself through the jaw. And Esther was there again.
I don't understand. He accidentally stabbed himself.
Sister Abigail But the most troubling thing is the Sullivan house fire. I checked into it further, it was arson. They have never found the person who did it.
[While Sister Abigail are talking to Kate and John, Esther looks]
What are you suggesting here? That she had anything to do with any of this? It's ridiculous.
Sister Abigail That a child could commit such crimes. It just flies in the face of everything I believe.
Oh... well, yeah.
We've had some behavioral problems, but...
Yeah, nothing like that. I mean, right?
Yes, we have.
Really, hon, think about it.
Sister Abigail [Esther looks at the living room, while Kate, John and Sister Abigail are talking.]
I've tried to reach the Russian orphanage where she was raised. I think we need to know what we're dealing with.
N-no, you know what?
[turns to Kate.]
Stop. Listen. [turns back to Sister Abigail.] We're dealing with a 9-year-old girl who's an orphan,---
Y-yeah, that's it...
We're taking her to Dr. Browning.
