The Shuttered Room Page #2

they going?

They're going to open up

the old mill,

Use it as a Summer home,

they reckon.

Aunt Agatha!

Aunt Agatha!

Aunt Agatha!

Aunt Agatha!

Yes, boy?

The Whately mill,

is it mine or not?

Will be one day.

When?

When I'm gone.

Who's

Susannahh Whately?

Come up here, boy.

What do you hear

about Susannahh Whately?

I just seen here

with her fancy husband

and fancy car.

Where are they headin'?

To my mill!

Zeb told them

how to get there.

She's come back.

Well...

All I can say

is it looks, um...

Ghastly?

Gruesome?

No, I was trying

to think of something

more like, um...

Delightful.

How about...

Frightful?

Come on.

Darling.

Darling.

Did you feel it?

Feel what?

When you opened

that door,

It was like I was standing

in front of a refrigerator.

I didn't want to walk in

in case I froze to death.

Aren't I stupid?

No, you're not stupid.

What am I afraid of?

Some bogeyman who once

played the starring role

In the nightmare

of a little girl.

Maybe she ate

too much apple pie

That particular night

for supper.

That's about it.

Mmm. Ha ha.

Some dream I once had,

that's all?

What do you think?

That I'm getting

dangerously close

To being discarded

in that ditch, right?

Look, you're doing fine.

You're doing fine,

But I'd like to catch up

with that bogeyman

And ask him

a few questions.

Wait a minute.

I'm only going

back there

On your

personal guarantee

That he isn't

around anymore.

This must be

the place.

Michael.

Where are you?

You know

what they say--

Cleanliness...

Is next to godliness.

[gasps]

What is it?

Ha ha ha ha.

Cobwebs.

Oh. Ha ha. Darling,

don't ever do that

to me again.

I'm glad

you're here.

Oh, I didn't mean

to disturb nothing.

I can come back later

if you folks are busy.

What is it?

I got a message

to hand on to the lady.

Mornin' again, ma'am.

Nice to see you again...

Uh, so soon.

You have a message

for me?

Yeah, from your Aunt Agatha.

She says

if you want to visit,

She'd be glad to see you.

Aunt Agatha?

She used to

take care of me

When I was

a little girl.

Fine. We'll drop by

this afternoon.

Oh, it's a pretty tough

place to locate.

If you want to come now,

I'll show you where it is.

All right.

You won't get

that machine up there.

You got to use

boot leather.

[whistling]

O.K., honey.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

What's keeping you?

Here. Come on.

Thank you.

[Ethan whistling]

[whistling

the wedding March]

[humming

the wedding March]

Come on.

Move it.

"John & Mary Whately."

My mother

and father.

Are you coming?

Oh, you got plenty of time

to visit them folks.

They ain't goin' nowheres.

Why wasn't I told?

Why did I
