La vendetta di Lady Morgan (Lady Morgan's Vengeance, 1965)
"Go, Pierre. Leave before it's too late."
"But who am I running away from, Susan?"
"They tried to kill you before, and if they find you here, they won't let you go."
"Susan, what's happening?"
"Nothing. It's already happened, Pierre. It's already happened."
