Why did you come here?
To deliver Christopher's reply to your note.
Really to see you. Sugar?
I have nothing to offer.
- You make me want to offer you something.
- Pity prompts you.
There are people one pities
I even pity Christopher.
o ooo oo, o o,

The beauty of such a life lies in its limitations
and accepting them.
Oh, I know.
I suppose I'm spoilt and terribly wilful.
Wilful? You don't even know
the meaning of the word.
No, oo oo go
Why?
Why must I go?
M g o o coo oxocoo
Very good, sir.
You don't understand.
- I can welcome no one here.
- Even in the kitchen of all places?
- Wait. Wait.
- Let me go
I'm sorry.
Please, let me go.
Yes. Yes, that is, after all what I want too, isn't it?
To be let go.
Yes, of course, of course.
Pale and cold and...
...and yet, so much life...
It was her longing for life...
...only for life, that haunts me.
o o o oooo o o o,
o o o o oo o
M oo oo o oo g o o o
Seeing you
and seeing her.
Yet, when you thought I was Ligeia,
I don't remember.
No o oc g,
M ooo, ooo
I stagger about like some drunken lord
in some...
(cat yowhs)
It seems you're always looking after my wounds.
eg pardon, sir, Mr Christopher Gough wishes
to be announced. He's in the refectory.
- Can I be helping, sir?
- Yes. Yes, Kenrick, please.
o co o og o o,
oo C oo
Of course.
Kenrick, bring Lady Rowena to the great hall
when you've finished.
And fetch my glasses.
I believe you'll find them by the portal.
Oh, and Kenrick...
...I want that animal destroyed.
- (door opErns)
- (VErdErn) It's wax.
It's a reproduction.
I managed to make it myself.
You see, I'm loath to open ancient tombs...
...rob a nation of its treasure
and call it archaeology.
It's quite good, really. Twenty... first dynasty?
No, o o, Do o,
o o o o ooooo
You can tell by the eyes.
The eyes...
...they confound me.
There is a blankness,
a mindless sort of malice
in some Egyptian eyes.
the mystery they hold.
Verden... Verden
Hmm?
- You were saying?
- Oh.
Oh, yes, yes. Of course.
Forgive me.
Forgive my reverie.
Lately, I...
I seem to slip into reveries.
The Lady Rowena will join us presently.
And I have much to say to you before she does.
Christopher...
...not ten minutes ago, I...
...I tried to kill a stray cat with a cabbage,
and all but made love to the Lady Rowena.
I succeeded in squashing the cabbage,
and badly frightening the lady.
If only I could lay open my own brain
as easily as I did that vegetable,
what rot would be freed from its grey leaves?
- Let's go for a stroll.
