It's apparently an assortment of Mayfair English style cookies from Nabisco.
She finds Angelique waiting in the drawing room. Nicholas will be angry when he learns I lied to him says Eve. Don't tell him, suggests Ang--you were just merely mistaken. Ang searches for a special medallion used for this purpose, and finds it, a gold disk, in the desk. Ang turns out the lights, which she explains is necessary for the ceremony. She closes the doors, has Eve sit in a chair, takes the medallion in her hands, and tells Eve, you won't even know it's happening--you only have a limited time, six hours, then you must return--you must find what you need in that time or you won't come back at all. Eve understands. Angelique tells her to relax and look at her. Their eyes meet, widen; Ang holds the medallion before her, addressing the powers of time and space "for one who wishes to return to another time and place."Her mind is suspended now, free of all things present, chants Ang--"waiting to be guided back and given temporary refuge in the past. She is waiting, she is waiting! Take her back to the year 1795!" Eve disappears. Angelique looks impressed with her handiwork.

70 INT - GREENHOUSE - DAY 70
as they walk around looking it over. TRUCK WITH
THEM and then let them EXIT SHOT. HOLD FOR a
moment until in the distance, seen through the
distortion of the greenhouse glass, the figure of
a girl in a long period dress stands watching them.
70 CONTD CONTD 70
And that's when today's quote -Page 29/Scene 70 - Quentin (O.S.): (putting on airs, kidding) 'I'm getting bored. Shall we have drinks on the veranda?'
- comes up.
And as far as what's different with the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, you know the story already, so no need to repeat it again - though Scene 70 does appear in the 129 minute version. And there are no notations in DC's script for this scene.
It's also worth noting that this picnic sequence is what's referred to in the DS Companion as something they wished had been in the film as it was released so as to show scenes of Quentin and Tracy being happy. But alas...
(And as an aside, I'll be sharing another candid shot from the day Scenes 69 & 70 were shot - but because it also relates to upcoming stuff that begins with Scene 107, I'm going to hold off until after that scene comes up in the script...)
Wrapping up Scene 70 ... -Page 29/Scene 70 - Tracy (O.S.): (joyfully laughing) 'Oh! I can't stand it! What a way to live!'
- coming up, ...

No Orbach's prison outfit for him!!!
... here are some more stills related to Scene #69:
First up, from page 34 of the 30th Anniversary Tribute version of the DS Almanac, here's a still of DC directing the scene:
The lady wearing the kerchief is DC's assistant Debbie Smith.
And here's a rarely seen still of DC directing:
As I've mentioned before, I love Selby just lying there eating an apple!
And finally here's a very rare still:

It's interesting that the script says Quentin is seen "busily sketching Tracy" yet he's not seen doing so in any of the stills I've ever come across. Though we do see his sketch pad in the second still I shared yesterday - and we do see Tracy fiddling with one of his paint brushes in the still above...
And there are some more stills related to shooting at the greenhouse, but I'm going to hold off sharing those until we reach Scenes 107-110...
Why did Jenny come to your room in the first place? Queries Edward. I don't know, answers Beth. What are the clothes doing on her dresser? He asks. I was taking them into the village, to the children, says Beth. Yes, says Edward, Jenny's children. And Quentin's, too, Beth reminds him. "God help them," says Edward, "she must have seen them here." Yes, agrees Beth, sobbing--Quentin doesn't know, I'm sure. He orders her to get rid of them--and when you're finished doing that, get rid of the knife and fix the cut on your face--you did it by accident. Beth touches the scratch and tries to talk to him, but he commands her to just get busy--much to be done, little time to do it. Beth puts down the knife, touches the baby clothes, and cries her heart out..

First up, a not exactly rare still, but definitely a very nice one:

But then, here's a fairly rare one:

I have to confess that ever since seeing that book entitled Mayfair being used as a prop, I've wonder why it was used? Was it being implied that Quentin was simply interested in the Mayfair section of London, or was there an artist named Mayfair whose work the prop department or even Selby himself felt Quentin might be interested in and/or influenced by? However, if the latter was the case, I've never been able to come across an artist named Mayfair, one who painted abstract art or otherwise. I suppose it may forever remain a mystery...
