Awakening: The World Dreamt and Imagined by Otto Mäkilä Page #6

It's the living you wanna watch out for.

Not the dead.

There she is. Now try to forget

all about it. The headmaster will.

Getting to go home. Cakes and puddings.

Lucky beggars.

Still, we'll have a nice time.

You always say that.

Lucky beggars. You always say that.

No!

There's nothing.

There's nothing.

Goodbye. See you in a week.

Check the out buildings

before you go, Mr Baxter.

There are gypsies on the Tarrow farm.

Your ma and pa overseas, Tom?

They live in India.

Takes three weeks to travel to India.

They have tigers there.

Goodbye, Matron.

Mary.

Have you been?

No.

No, but I've seen the lions in Africa.

One of them even attacked me.

How come you're not dead?

Apparently I was rescued

by one of the villagers.

Actually, a tribal chieftain.

Did he kill the lion?

I was very young. I think so.

The villagers took me in

and looked after me until help came.

They called me their "Mowa-Zee".

White doll.

I wonder what they'd think of me today,

seeing me in such a silly state.

- Tom, can you leave us now?

- Were your mother and father with you?

Were they killed?

Afraid they were.

Tom, Miss Cathcart and I

want a grown-up conversation.

I like grown-up conversations.

Now.

Goodbye, Mowa-Zee.

Maud, it was an accident.

I lost my cigarette case.

How could someone like you

want to do such a thing?

I don't want to talk about it.

Don't go. Miss,

something has happened to you.

You can't leave this house now.

Please stop calling me miss.

It's Florence.

And I can't stay here.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I'll be gone in an hour.

I fell.

I fell.

I know you're there, Robert.

Please don't go away.

Don't go.

You must be the ghost lady.

Come through.

Good evening.

Be quiet.

You'll be quiet or so help me!

Mr Mallory, I need your help.

You're not going?

Some of the equipment needs resetting.

- Can I...

- I don't understand.

You have your culprit.

You're doing more?

- Oh, would you...

- No, thank you.

Don't you like sherry?

I need to keep my wits about me.

I don't think

I shall ever drink alcohol.

- It makes you cross and sick.

- Mr Judd,

you're welcome to join us.

Things to do, Matron.

Mallory.

Mr Mallory.

Florence, what are you doing?

I was brought here to explain

a phenomenon in this house,

and whatever everyone else may believe,

I have yet to do that.

A collective delusion

has been experienced here,

a child moving through the house

as if there were no walls or floors.

You said that a child was murdered here.

What if that was also caused by...

You're doing this because of a feeling?

- This morning, you were...

- This is not a feeling!

This is a thesis. It's science.

- Tell me about the original murder.
