for one thing.

As you can plainly see,

I do not speak a word of American.

Tell me, why would you

want to stay here?

All alone.

Alan, this is

Sir Thomas Sharpe.

Sir Thomas,

Dr. Alan McMichael.

Best man in town if

you're feeling poorly.

I've heard so much about you

from Mother and my sister.

Although, I must confess,

I had a little trouble understanding your title.

"Baronet."

Edith kindly

explained it to me.

Edith,

this is Lady Lucille Sharpe.

My sister.

I'm delighted to

meet you, Miss Cushing.

You've managed to delay

my brother quite a bit.

Now's the time.

Poor Eunice was

growing desperate.

She claims no gentleman in America knows

how to dance a proper waltz.

Come with me.

Interesting development,

don't you think?

Indeed.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please make some space.

The baronet would like to

demonstrate for us the waltz.

European style.

Mrs. McMichael,

I wanted to apologize.

Edith, we weren't

expecting you.

I know. And I'm sure

there's no place for me...

Don't worry,

my child.

Everybody has their place.

I'll make sure

you find yours.

The waltz.

Not a complicated

dance, really.

The lady takes her place slightly to

the left of the leading gentleman.

Six basic steps,

and that's all.

However, it is said that

the true test of the perfect waltz

is for it to

be so swift,

so delicate

and so smooth

that a candle flame will not be extinguished

in the hand of the lead dancer.

Now, that requires

the perfect partner.

Would you be mine?

I don't think so.

Thank you.

But I'm sure Eunice

would be delighted.

I dare say.

But I have asked you.

Why are

we doing this?

I've always closed my eyes to things

that made me uncomfortable.

It makes

everything easier.

I don't want to

close my eyes.

I want to keep

them open.

Mr. Holly!

Mr. Cushing.

I like the club the first

thing in the morning.

I have it all

to myself.

A great way to

start the day, sir.

There's a young gentleman

and his sister.

I want you to

investigate for me.

There's something not

quite right about them.

I want results.

As soon as possible.

You have not been using

the drops regularly...

Edith, come in.

...and I must insist

you do so.

Take this to the druggist

and ask him to prepare it exactly.

And resume the dose.

"Toxicology of the Eye."

"Morphology of the Optic Nerve."

"Principles of Optical

Refraction."

And "Arthur Conan Doyle."

Fancy yourself

a detective?

Well, not really,

but he is an ophthalmologist

just like me.

Come.

I think you're going to like

what I have to show you.

Ghost photography

is easy to fake.

However, with

glass plates

it is, by definition,

impossible.

I got these in London.
