"I told him, sir, you'd make
no repairs."

INT. LIBRARY (NIGHT) CLOSE SHOT
At desk, as the agent finishes title. Sir James nods that
that was the right thing to do. Now, with the lease
unfolded, he scans down it with a business-like eye.
Suddenly he frowns, staring in astonishment down at the
document.
INSERT:
Signature on lease:
ROGER BALFOUR:
59
Sir James, staring down at the signature. He looks up, his
lips forming the name: "Roger Balfour!" He looks up slowly.
Then, indicating the signature with a forefinger, he says,
slowly:
TITLE:
"This is the name of the man
house five years ago!"
BACK TO SCENE:
He finishes title, in awe and wonder.60

INT. HAMLIN HALL NIGHT CLOSE SHOT
At front door. The butler is opening the door. Burke of

"Tell Sir James an old friend --
just back from India -- has come
to visit him."

Burke comes in; The butler closes the door64
INT. LIBRARY NIGHT SEMI FULL SHOT
The group as before. The butler, stepping in from the
entrance hall, gives Sir James the Message. "An old
friend?" Sir James says, trying to recall who it might be;
and then, "Show him in." The butler exits. After a moment
he returns with Burke. Sir James rises from the desk. They
stand looking at each other for a moment, then Sir James
comes forward and they greet each other with the warmth and
cordiality of old friends long parted. Sir James then turns
to the others and says:
TITLE:
"Colonel Yates, gentlemen"
65
of group as Sir James finishes title. The introduction is
acknowledged with a bow, in which Burke allows his gaze to
rest in rather long scrutiny on Hibbs, the secretary, so
that the young man is beginning to be uncomfortable. Sir
James, picking up the lease, turns with it to Burke, with
a return of his excitement of a moment ago.
66
Sir James and Burke, as Sir James tells him swiftly of the
name signed to the lease. Burke smiles dryly and says:
TITLE:
"A coincidence, Sir James -- it
could be nothing more."
BACK TO SCENE:
This is what Sir James wants to believe andis relieved when Burke says it. Burke turns to the two
agents out of scene and says:
TITLE:
What did this man look like?"

look. Then one of them says:
TITLE:
"That's hard to say, sir.
There was something weird about
him -- that made you feel creepy --"
68
The two agents as the first one finishes title in awe. The
other one goes on:
