The Spider Page #3

Yuris, accompany our guest.

Shall we go?

What a niece you have!

It took me whole year to put this room in order.

Really? You know, Yuris, I can live anyplace.

I'd be glad if you stayed here.

It is really nice in here.

If it gets cold, we can light the fire.

We settle in the castle only during summers

and give our little house to renovators. Soon here will be a museum.

Is that a walkman?

Yes. So that you wouldn't get bored.

But the records are old.

Oh, if I knew I had taken mine...

Well, listen to mine.

I'll get some water.

Alright. I will change my clothes.

Yuris...

What's up?

It appeared to me...some shadows on the wall...

Oh, that...that's just games of light.

Peculiarity of man who built this castle. Optical effects.

Like shadow theatre?

Something of that sort.

When I was sick as a child, father enterntained me

showing various things on the wall.

For example, this.

Well, all of that is nonsense.

Do you want to look at our island from above?

With knobs on!

Let's go.

Were to? Here?

No. That is my room. I will show it to you later.

And what is in here?

Abandoned ??? You shouldn't go in there.

I shouldn't?

Right. Nobody should.

Oh, how high!

Well, from here one can see almost whole island.

Once these lands belonged to archbishop,

there were some villages, forge, even a fleet.

In which side the sea is?

There. Behind the trees. You can't see it from here.

Yuris, who is that?

That's chief executioner of our palace. He's deaf-mute.

Tell me the truth. He looked so wildly at me.

You know...you'd better not meet him.

Anyway, keep away from this place.

What's in here?

Entrance to the tower.

How dark...

Are you afraid?

I'm not afraid of anything.

Jimmy?

Calm down.

Let's go.

Good morning!

Is everybody already up?

And long since had breakfast.

Sit down. Why are you standing?

How was your sleep?

I don't even remember! It's simply marvelous here.

Yuris promised to show me everything here is.

What's here to look at? Threes, rocks, well, the sea.

Thanks.

I don't know when we'll be back.

Yuris...

Yuris?

Yuris!

You scared me!

But you said you were not afraid of anything...

Forgive me.

Do you have ghosts here?

I don't know. There haven't been any. Maybe there is now.

Honestly, Yuris, there must be.

At least one.

Alright, I'll tell you a secret.

There showed up a ghost: pleasant, ginger and horribly tricky...

So observable?

Sure. I can even tell what are you thinking about.

Or I shouldn't?

Better not.

Should I tell the legend of our castle?

Go on.

More accurately, about that abandoned room you shouldn't go in.

Baron's young daugher once lived in it...

Jimmy, let's go swimming!

Aivars...
