With regard to Scenes 69 & 70, Darren Gross posted on his Restoration Web site -QuoteA selection of scenes cut from the 129-minute version that have been recovered:
...
Quentin and Tracy explore the dilapidated greenhouse watched by Angelique's ghost.
- and I presume that also means that Scenes 71, 71A & 72 -
DISSOLVE TO:
71 EXT - FIELD - DAY 71
It's another day and Quentin and Tracy ride their
horses joyously through the beautiful countryside.
DISSOLVE TO:
71A EXT - RAILROAD FOOTBRIDGE - DAY 71A
as they stroll hand-in-hand with the river in the B.G.
72 EXT - FRONT OF COLLINWOOD - NIGHT 72
It is very late. The house is in darkness.
Slowly the light in the Tower Room begins to
shine.
- may have also been recovered because they're not on the list of unrecovered/lost scenes. But who knows? And I don't recall if they were shown in Tarrytown in 2004...

... I'd like to share the full and unretouched still that I used for yesterday's and today's graphic:
As you've probably guessed, the reason I'd retouched it was because the script describes:
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.
The real effect probably isn't like the one I used - but without the actual footage to work with, it's an approximation...
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!'

No Orbach's prison outfit for him!!!
