ANNA

I s'pose if I tried to tell you I wasn't — that — no more you'd believe me, wouldn't you? Yes, you would! And if I told you that yust getting out in this barge, and being on the sea had changed me and made me feel different about things,'s if all I'd been through wasn't me and didn't count and was yust like it never happened — you'd laugh, wouldn't you?

What ANNA wants

To be believed and taken as she is now, not as what she was.The sea has made her feel clean and new — and now the past she buried is being dragged up.
