Night of Dark Shadows Page #3

---

- Yes. l was outside.

Yes, l know. l saw you from the window.

But l didn't see you.

l saw a child holding a doll.

This was a child's room, wasn't it?

Yes, it was. lt was Mrs. Stoddard's

when she was a little girl.

lt must have been a trick of the light.

Yes, it must have been.

Well, l'd better get back to work.

l'm glad l'm not driving.

- Sweetheart, some wine?

- Just a touch.

A touch. Now, who'd have thought

we'd have been here two years ago?

- l would have.

- You would, huh?

- Makes life interesting.

- Take a look at this thing.

Gregory strikes again.

He must think we're the manor folk.

Honey, remember, we are broke.

A little more wine for the gentleman.

A little wine.

ALEX:

Well, hello, Carlotta.

How are you?

QUENTlN:
What's that?

TRACY:
That's your surprise.

QUENTlN:

What is it?

Well, it's something

that you can't be without.

[ALEX LAUGHlNG]

ALEX:

You've gotta be kidding.

Why? l think he'll look marvelous in them.

TRACY:

Gregory said l could take them back if--

- Promise you, l'll wear them. Someday.

- Someday.

- Oh, Carlotta.

- Yes?

l found some old paintings

of Charles Collins up in the tower room.

Oh?

Do you know anything about his history?

Yes, l do.

He was a marvelous man,

a brilliant artist.

Oh, you almost sound

like you know him, Carlotta.

Will you be having brandy in the gallery?

No, thanks.

ALEX:

Not me. l'm up with the sun these days.

- Sure?

ALEX:
Positive.

- Ready, baby?

- Ready.

Ready.

A little more wine.

l'm having more

of those crazy daydreams.

Wanna talk about them?

- Can you come over tomorrow?

- Sure.

Okay.

[MUTED SOUND]

TRACY:

Quentin, stop it!

Stop it, Quentin. Get away.

Tracy?

Mr. Collins.

TRACY:
Darling, we don't need to

talk about it anymore.

QUENTlN:
The first thing l remember

was Gerard, but l didn't recognize him.

- What was he doing in the house, anyway?

TRACY:
He simply thought he saw a light.

And what was l about to do to you?

You stopped when you realized

what you were doing.

Don't worry about me.

The important thing is to try

to figure out why it happened.

l know.

How are we gonna do that?

Well, let's go to sleep.

l'm sure it'll seem easier in the morning.

You're not afraid of me.

No. No.

Hey, you!

Hello there.

TRACY:

Alex.

- Are you all right?

- Stay out of here.

Alex, what happened?

What happened?

l was exploring,

l guess l shouldn't have been.

Then the whole place fell down.

What's new, Trace?

Something sort of funny

happened last night, Alex.

l'm a little worried about it.

Come on, tell me about it.

TRACY:
Well, l don't know exactly.

l woke up late...

...and l looked for Quentin and he wasn't

there. So l went up to the tower.
