Scene: The Ballroom lyrics

[MARY, spoken]
Are you my Uncle Archibald?

[ARCHIBALD, spoken]
Who's that?

[MARY, spoken]
It's Mary Lennox, sir
Are you my Uncle Archibald?

[ARCHIBALD, spoken]
Yes, I am
Good morning, child

[MARY, spoken]
Are you going to be my father now?

[ARCHIBALD, spoken]
I'm your guardian
Though I am a poor one for any child
I offer you my—

[MARY, spoken]
Is this my Aunt Lily in this picture?

[ARCHIBALD, spoken]
Yes, it is
Where did you get that?
[MARY, spoken]
Is she a ghost now?

[ARCHIBALD, spoken]
Why, have you heard her?

[MARY, spoken]
I heard someone crying in the house last night
But I don't know anything about ghosts
Is my father a ghost now?
Does everyone who dies become a ghost?

[ARCHIBALD, spoken]
They're only a ghost if someone alive is still holding onto them
I offer you my deepest sympathies on your arrival

[MARY, spoken]
Did my mother have any other family?
