The story so far
Everything you need before watchingViolet is dying upstairs when Maud appears in the doorway. She says she will miss her, then asks if Maud only came to check she is on the way out. Robert asks whether she wants anything; she answers that he has already given her everything, many times over. She owes Cora an apology for doubting she would last the course, blesses Mary and Edith, and finally cuts off the tears with a joke: she cannot hear herself die.
