...other moving scene comes four days later, when Stella, dazed by her grief, starts out of the Surrege's drawing room toward the lake to do what she thinks is the only thing left for her to do. Her wise compassionate aunt (Blanche Bates) stops her at the door. They have a conversation from which Stella derives comfort, if not consolation. As the play ends, Stella is again going through the door toward the lake...
