---

The silver chandelier

was imported from Germany.

Follow me, Doctor.

There are almost one hundred

rooms in the house.

It's easy to get lost.

(HAMMERING AND SAWING)

How unusual.

Aunt Sarah

suffers from arthritis.

This makes climbing stairs

manageable for her.

The house can be overwhelming.

Do keep up.

ERIC:
What is this?

It's a communication device.

Really?

You speak into the holes,

and a series of pipes

travel the sound

to the desired room.

(WHISTLES)

(CHUCKLES)

- Ingenious.

- Yes.

You'll find many of my aunt's

inventions are state of the art.

I trust you'll find everything

you need with the room.

Aunt Sarah will be

joining us for dinner.

Perhaps you would like

to freshen up beforehand.

I very much look forward

to meeting your aunt.

Aunt Sarah

would not approve of you

drinking before dinner hour.

Her sense of smell

is still as acute as mine.

Respect her wishes.

You were right about me, Ruby.

I am

a fraud.

(DEEP INHALE)

(EXHALES)

You're a phony, hmm?

That feels good.

Well, you don't know

what you're doing.

(CLEARS THROAT)

You don't know

what you're doing.

Oh, yeah. You prove nothing.

For Christ's sake.

Jesus Christ!

(CHUCKLES)

Ah!

Who are you?

What do you want?

Dinner will be served

in 10 minutes.

- You're alone, yes?

- Yes, sir.

- Nobody else with you?

- No, sir.

No? You didn't see anyone

just come out of here?

Are you all right, sir?

I'm fine. I just thought

someone else was...

Well, I thought I saw

someone else in my room.

Interesting.

Look, I'm fine, yes.

Dinner in 10 minutes, yes?

- Sir.

- Good, thank you.

(MUMBLING)

Take it nice and easy.

(DEEP BREATH)

There.

Henry.

Stop it.

MARION:
Henry, stop that!

Henry. Henry! Just...

Henry, you must be very excited

to spend some time

in your great aunt's house.

We're here because Father died.

Well, I am very sorry

for your loss, young man.

- I'm not.

- Henry!

It's my fault.

I didn't mean to pry.

Of course, you did.

That's why you're here.

Yes. Suppose so.

I recently lost someone myself.

So if you feel like

discussing anything,

I might be able

to provide some assistance

to yourself or young Henry here.

I imagine you must be

very good at your job

if Aunt Sarah chose you

to be her assessor.

I had no idea

she chose me herself.

I'm just hoping I can help.

If you want to help, Doctor,

you can give my aunt

a clean bill of health

and be on your way.

Well, I have a duty

to my profession

and an obligation

to my employers.

Aunt Sarah is your employer.

It is still half her company.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

- Madam.

- Good evening, Madam.

Good evening, Madam.

(BELL CHIMING)
