How'd the wedding go?

Fine, thank you, fine.

This mop always gets stuck in there,

the handle's too long.

Was it a pleasant reception?

Yes, yes.

You know, I had every intention

of coming, Miss Gray.

Oh, I'm sorry--Mrs. Falconer.

But at 2:

What could I do?

I had to drop everything.

You know, you should dry yourself,

you'll catch cold.

Have you been upstairs yet?

Upstairs?

I haven't been upstairs,

I've only just got here.

Someone was upstairs.

Ah-- you've begun to see them at last.

What?

The shapes.

I knew you would eventually.

Believe me, I was amazed

when I first came to work here.

I mean, it's not an old house

and yet it's so full of spirits.

It was no spirit I saw upstairs.

I keep meaning to ask Mr. Falconer

if I can bring my daughter here.

She's so receptive.

My friend has a sense of humour.

(voices overlapping and echoing)

Excuse me, Miss?

(echoing voices and distorted sounds)

You've got to help me,

What's the matter?

There's a man, he's following me,

Sorry, love.

You don't need this, do you?
