The House That Dripped Blood Page #6

She's in the study.

Please.

Hello, Jane.

I'm Mrs. Norton.

Mind if I sit down?

You know you and I really

should get acquainted.

From now on, we'll be spending

a lot of time together.

I'm a teacher, Jane.

Your father has asked me to come here

and help you with your lessons.

Well then.

I can see we won't have any

problem finding books to study.

We've a new set of encyclopedias.

What a nice room you have here.

I hate it!

Everything's so cozy and cheerful.

Come on, lets go by the

fireplace and have a nice chat.

No!

Jane.

Look at me, Jane.

That's better.

Friends should always speak face to face,

don't you think so?

Particularly when they

have problems to discuss.

You know, if you tell me what's wrong,

I might be able to help you.

Is it the fire?

He always has it going.

Of course.

It would be too cold in here without.

Jane, I'm going to ask you something

that you don't have to answer

me if you don't want to

but I do hope you will.

It's about fire.

Have you ever been burned?

Did it happen to somebody else,

somebody you knew and loved?

I'm glad.

'Cause fire can never harm

us so long as we're careful.

So there's really nothing

to worry about, is there.

You know, I've often wondered

just what we'd do without fire.

Did you ever stop to think

how much it helps us?

It keeps us warm, it cooks

our food, even gives us light.

Besides, it's really very pretty.

I love to watch the

flames dancing, don't you?

Sometimes, it's nice just to

see the way the colors change.

Look.

There's all sorts of shapes.

I never get tired of watching.

Better?

I'm afraid your daughter

does have problems.

You're not interested in

taking the position then?

Oh, on the contrary Mr.

Reid, I'm going to stay.

This river goes to a big river

which flows into the

ocean far, far away, see?

Perhaps, we could go on a

trip some day on a boat.

Maybe even as far as the

ocean, would you like that?

Yes.

Alright, come on

then, it's getting late.

Let's go home to tea.

"Oh, I've had such a

curious dream." said Alice.

And she told her sister as well

as she could remember them.

All those strange ad, ad...

Adventures.

Adventures of hers that you

have just been reading about.

And when she had finished,

her sister kissed her

and said, "It was a curious dream, dear.

"Certainly, but now run in to

your tea, it is getting late."

It is getting late.

I think we've accomplished

quite a bit today, don't you?

I liked Alice in Wonderland.

Did you?

And you read it very well.

My father taught me.

He said it would give me

something to do when I was alone.

Where you always alone, Jane?

Have you never had other

children to play with?
