- as Barnabas delivers most of today's quote, which he does exactly as scripted on mostly on screen - however when it comes to Barnabas saying the portion "work to do", that's when the camera shot changes to what Julia sees in her mirror and we do indeed see that Barnabas -
- casts no reflection there and Julia's actions become clear... (And who can spot what's missing from the shot of the reflection? Today was honestly the first time I'd noticed... Apparently, just as with the daytime show, DC wasn't willing to pay for someone to keep track of continuity. Should we be shocked? Hardly!)
Maggie and Jeff were left in the drawing room with Julia. Maggie moved to Jeff and in a low voice that Julia couldn't hear asked him, "May I ask why you were so rude to Barnabas?" In the same low tone Jeff said hotly, "I asked a per- fectly valid question. What's wrong with that?" "It was the way you asked it. Your tone of voice!" Julia watched them from the corner of her eye. She was aware that they were having a difference of opinion, but didn't say anything. She did not want to embarrass them and was still stunned about her discovery about Barn- abas. Jeff said, "Doesn't it strike you odd that none of us really knows anything about Barnabas Collins?" "I think we know enough," Maggie said. Jeff turned. "What about you, Doctor? How do you feel about it?" Julia pretended not to hear. Jeff addressed her in a louder voice. "Dr. Hoffman?" She pretended to hear him for the first time. "Yes?" "Are you feeling all right?" he asked with concern. "Why do you say that?" Julia inquired nervously. He stared at her. "You're pale. You're sure you're not ill?" "Very sure," she said. "Would you excuse me? I told Professor Stokes I'd come back and have another look at Todd." "Of course," Maggie said. "Thank you," she said with a forced smile and left the room. Jeff stared after her. "What do you make of that?" "Of what," Maggie wanted to know. He was indignant. "Surely you noticed! She suddenly seemed to have some sort of spell. I'd swear she is either ill or she was frightened by something." Maggie gave him a mocking look. "Another mystery! You see dark shadows everywhere lately." "I'm not imagining it!" he protested. "You're suspicious of Barnabas and suspicious of Julia," Maggie said with derision. "The next thing you'll be suspicious of me!" "I will be if you close your eyes to what is happening around here as you're doing now." She gave him a small smile. "I think I know what is wrong with you." "What?" "You're jealous of Barnabas! That's why you're sud- denly seeing mystery in everyone and everything! I thought you were more grown-up, Jeff!" Jeff became angry. "I suppose you think I'm just a boy now beside the mature charm of Cousin Barnabas. I think he's a jaded, cynical fraud." "You would!" she said scornfully. "I find him charm- ing!" Jeff glowered at her. "Then there's no use our discussing him. We'll never see him with the same eyes!" |
