Now moving on to the differences between comic's second sequence from Barnabas' dream and the actual sequence as it played in Ep #8 of the '91 Series, the comic skips several bits at the beginning, starting with how after Barnabas opens the doors to her rooms, Josette walks in she describes the room as "beautiful" and "magnifique", and Barnabas explains about how after the wedding the rooms will be theirs - and then as Barnabas removes Josette's cloak, she notices something in the room and asks him how he was about to get her portrait, which we see hanging over the mantle, and Barnabas explains that he had the countess bring it because he wanted it there - and so it isn't until after all that that Barnabas strokes Josette's face and says -
Barnabas: 'YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.' - and she replies -
Josette: 'AS ARE YOU.' - so note that is different from the comic, where she says "AS YOU ARE" - and after smiling at her, Barnabas goes to the mantle to retrieve something and he returns to hand it to Josette as he says -
Barnabas: 'THIS IS FOR YOU. I HAD IT SPECIALLY MADE IN
BOSTON. IT WAS INTENDED AS A WEDDING PRESENT.' - as he does in the comic - and from there things also continue as in the comic with Josette asking -
Josette: 'THEN WHY ARE YOU GIVING IT TO ME NOW?' - to which Barnabas replies -
Barnabas: 'OH, BECAUSE I COULD NOT WAIT.' - but in the actual scene he also adds -
Barnabas: 'All my control is concentrated somewhere else.' - and after smiling at the remark, Josette opens the gift and reacts to it with -
Josette: 'OH, BARNABAS! IT IS EXQUISITE!' - rather than simply "IT IS EXQUISITE!", as in the comic, and after she opens it and the melody begins to play, unlike in the comic, she further reacts with an excited -
Josette: 'Ah!' - and Barnabas happily replies -
Barnabas: 'I KNEW YOU'D RECOGNIZE IT.' - using the contraction "YOU'D" rather than the comic's "YOU WOULD" - and the sequence will continue from there next time...
