Close on the sign above the shop: Lovett’s Drapery.
EDMUND is staring up at it, mesmerised by it.
DENISE passing, full of purpose.
DENISE:
What are you doing, Uncle?
EDMUND:
Having your name above a shop --
it’s no small thing.
DENISE:
(laughs)
You’ve only just noticed?
She passes on and into the store.
EDMUND shakes off the regret that haunts him.
MORAY and DUDLEY on the move. DUDLEY teasing MORAY.
DUDLEY:
You’ve forgotten, haven’t you.
MORAY:
Clearly I have or I would know what
you are talking about.
DUDLEY:
Five years. This week. Five years
since that sign went up -- since
this place stopped being Emmerson’s
Drapery and became The Paradise.
MORAY finds himself looking up at his sign.

EXT. THE MAZE. GARDENS. BELVILLE HOUSE - DAY 2
FLORA in the maze, running, enjoying herself.
She turns a corner and is startled to find TOM right there.
Before she can squeal, he puts his finger to his lips: be
quiet.
He takes FLORA by the hand and leads her away.
2.
KATHERINE is moving through the maze, searching. She has been
like this for some while, growing baffled, growing
increasingly anxious.
KATHERINE:
Flora? Flora, darling, where are
you?
3 INT. MORAY’S OFFICE. THE PARADISE - DAY 3
Tap-tap on the door. DENISE enters in a hurry. She finds the
office empty, turns on her heals, heading away again.
But she stops. A thought has taken her. A naughty thought.
She considers it for a moment.
Now she walks into the office and -- she can’t resist it --
she sits in Moray’s chair. It feels good.
DENISE is basking in this bliss when someone comes in. She’s
caught ... by MORAY. He sees her there like this. It throws
him, disturbs him.
DENISE laughs and -
DENISE:
You caught me. I’m sorry, darling.
I couldn’t resist. I have always
wondered what it must feel like to
sit here.
MORAY:
Perhaps I ought to be careful where
It’s teasing between them, loving.
4 EXT. GARDENS. BELVILLE HOUSE - DAY 4
In the garden, TOM sits with FLORA at a table with tea and
cakes, a smile on his lips. He speaks quietly to FLORA.
TOM:
It’s a game. Whatever Katherine
says, we don’t speak to her.
KATHERINE comes out of the maze and sees TOM and FLORA at the
table.
KATHERINE:
Heavens! What a trick. I might have
been searching for you the whole
day.
She gets to the table and joins them.
3.
KATHERINE (CONT’D)
It has quite jangled my nerves.
TOM flicks a look to FLORA: The game is on: they ignore
KATHERINE.
KATHERINE (CONT’D)
Tom, darling, did you hear me?
But TOM has ears and eyes only for FLORA.
TOM:
Flora, shall we go and play in the
maze?
FLORA:
Yes, Papa.
FLORA dare not even look at KATHERINE.
KATHERINE:
Tom! Flora. What are you doing? I
am talking to you -
TOM:
Flora, sweetheart, will you chase
FLORA:
They are going. It’s too much for KATHERINE.
KATHERINE:
Do I not exist today? What is going
on? Speak to me! Tom, you have been
like this for days. Like a ghost
staring at me but saying nothing.
What is the matter?
But his look of ghostly indifference makes her fraught.
KATHERINE (CONT’D)
I demand that you speak to me.
TOM simply takes the watch from his pocket and regards it for
a moment, before returning it to his waistcoat.
He takes FLORA by the hand and leads her to the maze.
KATHERINE is left plagued with guilt and fear.
