    “What had he done to make him fly the land?" [repeats, louder with cracked voice] “What had he done to make him fly the land?" (page no.) And what did I do to make him flee this land? [shaking head, is emotional] Fearful of Scotland’s happening and future. Oh, Scotland. Your monarchy so heinous, so damned, so feared that your men are fleeting images of the past.

I should have known a man so full of human nature would chase the scorpions of suspicion in his mind that sting him to the point of no return. It can’t be. Macduff, this noble passion/ Child of integrity, hath from my soul. (Page 76, 114-115) [Shaking head]…
