The Night Has Eyes Page #6

Yet who .. meant nothing to me.

I've met others.

Brainless and brutal.

You know?

Yes, I know.

The queer fascination cruelty has.

The water level is much lower now.

By tomorrow, you will be able to go.

I know.

I saw it from my window

before I came down.

I haven't been able to play

like this for almost a year.

It's as if I were coming to life again.

Tomorrow, you'll be gone.

I meant to send you away.

I still mean to send you away.

But why?

Because it would be best for both of us.

This doesn't it mean anything to you?

Yes, it does. But it was something beyond

me. I shouldn't have given way to it.

Why?

Don't ask me why. Think

anything you please but ..

Don't keep asking me why.

Very well.

I know that emotion can be

real for a moment and then ..

Die out in a second.

No, no. It isn't that.

It's just no good. It's too late.

You know your own mind best.

It's your life here.

You look lovely now.

It's as if something had

lighted a lamp inside you.

I suppose I should thank you for that.

I'll go to bed now, Stephen.

I'll leave before you

get up in the morning.

Goodbye, Marian.

Goodbye.

Uhoh.

If these old eyes don't deceive me

there's been a spot of fun and games.

Did he kiss you?

Yes.

Go on.

That's all.

Oh ..

Well, anyway he kissed you.

You can see that as a wedge.

Doris. Look at this!

What is it?

Don't you see?

It's a Carne House report form.

How did it get here?

It may be Osborne House or Belmont House

or any other house ending with an "e".

But I recognize the form.

It is the one we use at Carne

So do half the schools in England.

What does it matter, anyhow?

Don't you see?

If this is from Carne ..

Only one person could

have brought it here.

Evelyn.

Evelyn?

Last night in this room, I ..

Felt she'd been here.

Oh, baloney!

Old Stephen Sourpuss downstairs

has never even heard of her.

Then how did it get here?

Well, it probably blew in from the

moors and old Sourpuss picked it up.

He looks the "waste not, want not" type.

Yes.

If he saw the name on it .. that

would account for the kind of ..

Recognition he gave when he

heard we came from Carne.

Come on, let's go to bed.

Thank heavens the water is down and

we can leave this place in the morning.

Yes .. we shan't see Stephen again.

Come on, dear. I want the loaf.

You must be Mrs Ranger.

That's right.

I reckon you got caught in the storm

and Mr Deremid gave you shelter?

Our clothes got wet and he took them away

for drying. I was looking for them now.

There's an airing cupboard in the kitchen.

Depend upon it, that's where they are.

Hurry along Jim, now.

Get on with the fireplaces.

I was only having a look.
