The Horror of Frankenstein Page #3

---

A pleasure, herr professor, frulein.

Now, you must allow us to speed you

on yourjourney.

Are you going to stay

now that you're home, Victor?

Yes, I am.

Perhaps you and herr kassner

could come to dinner one evening. Soon.

Indeed, I insist!

- Of course we shall come.

- Thank you, young man.

- Drive on.

- Go on, get on.

Another of your conquests?

Believe it or not, Wilhelm, no.

I'm delighted to hear it.

Come on, let's be on our way.

You fetch the horses.

There's something I must do here.

I said a man could get hurt down here.

Welcome home, herr baron.

Thank you, alys.

You're looking remarkably well.

Thank you, sir.

And you've put on weight

in a couple of places.

- Not too much, I hope, sir.

- Not at all.

Oh, this is herr kassner.

Herr kassner will be staying with us

as a houseguest for a while.

- Did you dismiss the servants?

- Oh, they went yesterday, sir.

- Has my equipment arrived?

-Lt's been arriving all week, sir.

I've had it put in your old rooms.

And I've taken the Liberty

of moving your personal things

to your father's old bedroom.

Good. I trust nothing has been changed.

The same furnishings,

bed warmer, things like that.

Exactly as your father always liked it, sir.

Admirable. We'll have dinner in one hour.

Come, Wilhelm.

Who was that?

Awe. She's my housekeeper.

You're joking.

Not at all. She gave satisfaction

to my father, she can do the same for me.

I hope she can cook.

Many more meals like that

and we can forget work.

- We'll both be dead.

- It wasn't as bad as all that.

- It was revolting, I've never tasted anything...

- Shh!

- Hope you enjoyed your meal, gentlemen.

- Very nice, thank you.

Are you sure you'll be able

to handle everything on your own, alys?

Oh, I think so, sir.

I can always have help sent up

from the village for the heavy work.

Good idea. You're my housekeeper,

I don't want you slaving away

in the kitchen all the time.

Tomorrow, you will engage a cook.

Oh, you didn't enjoy the meal.

No, I assure you, we did.

But get a cook, just the same.

But no living-in help.

- If you say so, sir.

- Good.

- That's settled then. Come on, Wilhelm.

- Where?

Upstairs. We've got to unpack the equipment.

- What time will you be retiring, sir?

- Uh, two hours.

Very well, sir, I'll prepare your bed.

Like father, like son, alys.

Of course, sir.

You know, I have the strangest feeling

that I'm missing something.

You probably are, Wilhelm.

But don't worry about it, old friend.

I'll have you working so hard that you

won't even know what it is you're missing.

Thanks a lot.

- I think I'll go to bed.

- Rubbish.

- We've got to unpack this lot first.
