The Clan of the Poes (Page 175)

//Panel 1//
Edgar’s Narration:
Ahh, at least for me…
Baron Portsnell:
Sheila—
SFX:
PSSSSSTTT
//Panel 2//
Driver:
AAH…
//Panel 3//
SFX:
CLONK
//Panel 4//
SFX:
WHIP
//Panel 6//
Baron Portsnell:
WAAAAA—
Baron’s Narration:
My wife
My love
Those who shared my destiny

In Edgar's line from Panel 1, which is repeated from the last panel of the previous page, the implication is that at least for Edgar, he had one singular purpose: to take care of Marybel.

In Panel 6, Baron Portsnell is referring, of course, to members of the Poe clan, many of whom have shared a fate similar to Sheila's.
