Somewhere In Time Page #2

and I just read your book on famous American

actresses. and I really enjoyed it a lot.

What is it you want?

Information about Elise McKenna.

What sort

of information?

Well. I'm a playwright. and I was thinking

about doing a play based on her life.

And. of course. I'd

have to talk-- I'm sorry.

Ma'am. please.

Please. don't.

This is not for a play.

Miss Roberts.

This is something

very personal.

I don't understand.

Where did you get that?

She gave it to me. ma'am. at the

opening night of a play that I wrote...

at Millfield College

about eight years ago.

That watch was

very precious to her.

She never. never left it

out of her possession.

It disappeared

the night she died.

She died that night?

Won't you come in.

please?

Thank you.

I have some things I've been

saving for the theater collection.

That was a costume from

one of the plays she was in.

Miss Roberts.

what was she like?

When I knew her.

she was kind and thoughtful.

but she was just

too much within herself.

She. she seemed

empty somehow.

Well. she wasn't always

that way. was she?

Oh. no. not at all.

People who knew her

when she was young said...

that she was quick and bright

and full of fun.

strong. willful. not at

all the way she was later.

What made her change?

I don't know,

but the change seems to have

taken place about 1912.

aftershe performed in a

play, at the Grand Hotel.

That was her manager,

William Robinson.

Was he really as strange as you

seemed to indicate in the book?

There was something strange

about their relationship.

Oh. wow. Iook at this.

Hey. May I? This is

incredible. Of course.

This guy. Finney. he was my

philosophy teacher at Millfield.

Really,?

Yeah.

She read that book

over and over.

She had that made.

[ Classical]

What is it?

That's my favorite music

in the whole world.

I don't understand

what's happening.

Doctor Finney? You'll have

to walk with me. young man.

I have another class. What's your

name? Collier. sir. Richard Collier.

Student? Uh. yes I was. nine years ago.

Well. I try to make my classes

interesting. but nine years?

What can I do foryou? I

have a question foryou. sir.

Shoot.

Is time travel possible?

That is a question.

Let me tell you something.

Richard. is it? Yes. sir.

I was in Venice

in 1971.

I was staying in

a very old hotel.

But I mean. very old:

the structure. the

furnishings. everything.

The atmosphere was aged.

ifyou follow me.

and my room. I felt

as though it was...

a century or more

earlier than 1971.

You understand?

Yes. sir.

So. in other words. then.

the location is very important.

Not all important.

but essential. Mm-hmm.
