We'll be all right, Madeline.
Madeline?
Don't touch her!
You mustn't wake her, sir.
The shock could be very harmful.
- How did she get here?
- Se walks in her sleep, sir.
And then she comes here?
She is obsessed by thoughts of death.
Poor child!
How long has she been doing this?
Ever since her return from Boston, sir.
I'll just take her to her room.
- No, I...
- No!
Better let me.
I've done it before.
- Good morning, Bristol.
- Good morning, sir.
Has Miss Madeline had her breakfast yet?
Oh, no, sir.
Good, then I'd like to take
her breakfast straight to her.
Very well, sir. Of course, she does not
eat very much usually
Well then we will see that she
does eat.
- Yes sir...
- All right, let's see what we have here...
bread, that's good...
Milk? A little fruit?
Why, I'll take it to her, sir.
- No, I'll do it.
- Yes, sir.
- Oh, how about some eggs?
No, sir. I think perhaps a little gruel.
It's the most she has ever eaten
in the morning.
- Gruel?
- Yes, sir.
Oh, yes, her sense of taste.
- Well, all right then, hot gruel
...for both of us.
- Yes, sir.
How long have you been with
the Ushers, Bristol?
Sixty years, sir.
- Sixty years?
- Ever since I was a boy.
Why then this is as much your house
as it is Mr. Roderick's.
And Miss Madeline, sir.
Not after today.
I'm taking her to Boston with me.
We'll see.
How long has that been going on?
So long I'm hardly aware of it any more.
It's just the settling of the house.
That settling can cause this entire
structure to collapse.
- And that doesn't worry you?
- Oh, no, sir.
If the house dies, I shall die with it.
Be careful, sir. It was about to hit you.
It's that fissure that causes the
entire house to shake.
Yes, sir.
Who is it?
Your breakfast, Miss Usher.
Hot gruel and... hot gruel.
It's so dark in here I can barely see you.
There.
No sunlight.
There'll be sunlight where we leave.
Now... good morning.
Good morning.
If he comes in now don't be afraid.
He won't come in. He has to take drugs
to sleep
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well now...
We'll fill you with hot gruel in good share!
You're so sweet to me.
Nothing too good for future
Mrs. Winthrop.
- Mrs. Winthrop?
- Open your mouth.
I'm not hungry.
Madeline, I have no scrawny woman I my
home, now open your mouth.
Come on.
Madeline, get ready to leave.
- I want to, Philip.
- Then you will.
- I can't.
- Why?
Because very soon I shall be dead.
I forbid you to say that ever again.
- It is true, Philip.
- It is not true, Madeline.
You're full of life.
Look at me, Philip. Do I look full of life?
I remember you as you were in Boston.
