Sometimes I get the feeling the house beckons to me. |
Except for a brief period of a few months,
the house has been untenanted for some time. |
|
|
You have mimosa on that handkerchief. |
They "experienced" disturbances here. |
|
|
Whiskey. He don't like this house, Miss Pamela.
Cats are very perceptive. |
Yes, a hideous caricature. But the two women in
this painting are the same person. It's an unmerciful study in decay. |
|
|
You never told me Carmel died in this house. |
This place is an open invitation to ghosts. |
|
|
There's enough that goes on in this
house without inviting more, fooling
with things we ought to leave alone. |
When a literary critic decides to
write a play he temps the fates. |
|
|
First you'd have to discover who the ghost is. |
It's called "The Artist's Model".
Caused something of a stir when it
first appeared fifteen years ago. |
|
|
I saw a death's head. I suddenly looked
old. Ghastly. Stark old age. |
Miss Holloway says I was cross and
tiresome and never pretty at all. |
|
|
I don't know what chance we stand against spirits. |
If you ask me, she's to blame for what
happened. Tarot cards. Ha! |
|
|
Dr. Scott told me about your dash from the
house, your exhaustion. I understand some
malignant presence was seen. |
A long rest is what you need, Stella. |
|
|
You force me to send Stella away |
I should think that was fairly obvious. Carmel's
infatuation and Llewellyn's dubious charm. |
|
|
I trust I have made you both realize that if some
troublesome spirit haunts Cliff End, it is not
Mary's. I'll show myself out. |
You may be keen as mustard for this seance, but
don't try to drag in Lizzie Flynn. |
|
|
A violent death? "YES." |
Nina mia, chica, guapa . . .
Stella, nina mia . . . |
|
|
She wanted you to find the perfume. |
Carmel, are you Stella's mother? |
|
|
I have seen her face in my father's
sketches and I always loved it. |
We're in for a storm. |
|
|
There is nothing left of you,
Mary, but a story to laugh over-
go and scare crows! |
It means, Lizzie, we are staying at
Cliff End, the ghosts are gone, and
I plan to see a great deal of
Stella Meredith. |
