La maschera del demonio Page #5

Doctor, I don't know how to thank you.

Call me if you need anything.

I'm sure it won't be necessary.

Your room is across the corridor here.

Goodnight, and thank you again.

Goodnight.

END OF PART ONE:

PART TWO:

Poor Father!

Doctor Kruvajan!

Katia wait!

Don't go in there!

Don't look!

Professor Kruvajan?

It's me, Andre.

Your friend has already left.

Left?

Last night he was called to the castle. It seems

that Prince Vaida was suddenly taken very ill.

He hasn't come back.

And why didn't he notify me?

Maybe he didn't want to disturb you.

My daughter saw him get into the coach

that came from the castle to pick him up.

-Could I have a horse?

-Right away. Come with me.

Be careful! If you knock

down the basket I'll spank you!

Excuse me!

Is this the shortcut to the castle?

Yes, sir.

Take the road going uphill.

Damn it, I told you to play someplace else!

A shirt!

We have to catch it!

Be careful you don't fall into the water too!

Doctor Kruvajan!

Who are you?

What do you want?

I am Doctor Gorobek.

I heard that Doctor Kruvajan

was brought here last night.

That is correct.

We called him to attend to my

father, who had fallen ill suddenly.

The doctor was left alone

with him, but then he left.

If he hadn't abandoned him,

my father might still be alive.

The behaviour of your colleague

is really incomprehensible.

You're right.

I don't know how to explain it, but I assure

you this comes to me as a great surprise.

I know Doctor Kruvajan very well,

and I don't understand...

Something serious must have

happened, I'm sure of it.

It is very strange. He

hasn't returned to the inn.

He hasn't returned?

Please, come up.

Oh my god! It's Boris,

the groom from the Vaida's.

Yes, it's him, and what a state he's in!

How did he end up here?

The current. He is dead.

Let's take her away from here.

Where is her room?

Come.

Quickly, some water.

His face has changed completely.

It's very scary, it looks like the face of the Devil.

It made me sick looking at it.

Horrible! It's as if the Devil

had devoured him from within.

Speak quietly, it's better

that they don't know yet.

They are already grief-stricken

enough by their father's death.

Ivan! What's this all about?

They found Boris' body in the stream, my Lord.

Boris' body?

Yes, and in a terrible state.

His eyes are popping out of their sockets,

his teeth are exposed,

and his hands are contorted.

Where is he?

We've carried him into the sacristy.

The parish priest is with him.

You there...

Me?

Yes, come here.

Is it true that you saw the carriage that came

to fetch Doctor Kruvajan yesterday evening?

Yes, my Lord.

I saw it when it left the stable.
