The Body Snatcher Page #4

Mrs. Marsh reaches for the wheel-chair.

FULL SHOT -- Mrs. Marsh takes the wheel-chair up the two

steps. Gray follows carrying the child. He sets the child

tenderly in the wheel-chair, smiling as he does so.

GRAY:

Back in your own wee cab.

GEORGINA:

Thank you.

In the meantime, Mrs. Marsh has fumbled through her purse for

change. She hands this to Gray. He takes the money from his

right hand, then removes his hat with his left hand, bobs his

forelock with the right in a series of obsequious gestures.

GRAY:

Thank ye, ma'am. Thank ye.

(to Georgina)

You watch sharp, little miss for my

horse to give you a "hello".

CLOSE SHOT -- Georgina looking at Gray with great pleased

eyes. This has made a definite impression on her.

EXT. MACFARLANE'S HOUSE -- DAY

Mrs. Marsh has used the door knocker. Now in response the

door is opened by a handsome woman of thirty-five, Meg

Cameron.

MRS. MARSH

I would like to see Dr. MacFarlane.

Meg gives Mrs. Marsh a quick look and then turns to look at

Gray. A glance passes between them; a glance which tells of

previous acquaintance, yet neither speaks. He turns and goes

down the steps. Silently, Meg opens the door and allows Mrs.

Marsh to push Georgina's wheel chair through into the hall.

INT. MACFARLANE'S HALLWAY -- AFTERNOON

Georgina's wheel chair is pushed into this gloomy and

forbidding entry. Meg closes the door behind them, then

without further word, strides down the hall. Mrs. Marsh and

the little girl wait and look around.

CLOSE SHOT -- Georgina. With great wide eyes the child looks

around at the antlered stag head, the cruel-looking walking

sticks in the umbrella stand and the light-footed Mercury

with caduceus upraised. The caduceus throws its patterned

shadow across the child's face.

CLOSE TWO SHOT -- Georgina and Mrs. Marsh. Mrs. Marsh sees

the fright in the child's face and reassuringly pats her

shoulder. There is the sound of a door opening and they both

look off in that direction.
