Blanche Fury Page #5

Stop it! He's getting away!

We've got them back, Uncle Simon!

- Blanche, where have you been?

- We paid a polite visit to the gypsies.

- We?

- They gave us a very warm welcome.

- Did you go with the police?

- No, sir, we went alone.

I want a word with you in your quarters.

Very good.

Laurence, perhaps you'll escort

Blanche back to the house.

Say good night to Lavinia.

She won't sleep till

she knows you're back.

We were worried about you, Blanche.

We were afraid you'd had an accident.

Strange that you didn't look

more pleased to see me, then.

I think we should have,

had you been alone.

It was rash. My niece

might have been hurt.

You'd no right to take the

law into your own hands.

I was thinking of Clare. I

presume that's what I'm paid to do.

You presume too much. You

should have informed the police.

Tomorrow they could have

gone out to the camp.

- Tomorrow they'd have gone.

- We could've followed them.

We shouldn't know whom to

follow. There are a great many.

There won't be for long.

I intend to discuss a plan for dealing

with these gypsies once and for all.

As to my niece, you will not

enter into conversation with her.

I shall tell her so.

Kindly remember that.

We've become very fond of you,

Blanche. We think of you as one of us.

I hope you'll be that more and more.

This is a great day for Clare, Fury.

- It is indeed.

- It's a great day for all of us.

Those confounded gypsies moved out this

afternoon. I got word from my head keeper.

- They've taken the eviction quietly.

- What else can they do?

Good evening, Mrs. Fury.

Would you care to dance?

I don't think I'll dance again for a

while. I'd like to go out on the terrace.

In that case, may I accompany you?

By all means.

Well, aren't you going to say it?

- Say what?

- "Congratulations, Mrs. Fury. "

Your husband's the one

to be congratulated.

It's very strange for

me to be here tonight.

This is the first time in many years

that I've been in any room in this house

except the gun room.

And I'm invited here as a guest

with all the rest of the staff.

Though I'm the only real Fury here.

You were thinking that as

you came in, weren't you?

You looked at everything

so possessively.

Everything, Mrs. Fury?

I didn't mean that.

Did you think it?

Of course not.

Why are you wasting yourself on him?

Is it for position and security?

You may not even be able to keep those.

One day this place is coming

back to its rightful owners.

And as you've been to so

much trouble to make it yours,

that may be at your expense.

How can that be?

Have you forgotten the

legend of Fury's Ape?

Look! Look! Something's on fire!

All Clare men, get down to the barns!
