(great face on Daphne)
1995 Carolyn and the log would make a great couple.
(Carolyn does have a taste for those inanimate objects...)
The atmosphere in the dining room of Collinwood was solemn. Mrs. Johnson served with a sad expression on her matronly face. Seated at the table were Elizabeth, Roger, Todd, Julia, Stokes and Maggie. No one seemed to have any desire for conversation. As a result there were frequent long periods of silence. For all the poignant grief she felt, Elizabeth managed to maintain a very good front before the others. She in- quired if the roast beef was sufficiently well done and urged them all on to enjoy the meal. She even kept up the pretense of eating, although little of the food on her own plate disappeared. Roger showed none of his usual coldness. He was also solicitous of their guests and did his best to keep the conversation going. "I'll trust we'll have no more wet weather for a while," he said. Julia Hoffman picked up the cue. "So do I," she agreed. "More rain could be ruinous to the farm crops and we've had quite enough of it." "Especially the thunder and lightening storms," Maggie spoke up, trying to do her part. "They frighten me." Professor Stokes offered her one of his dignified smiles. "I don't want to upset you, Miss Evans. But I believe the long term weather reports predict that this year we shall have more than the usual amount of thunderstorms. So you may expect one soon again." Roger said, "Then I don't put too much stock in weather reports. They are too often wrong." Professor Stokes looked affronted. "I'm referring to the New York Times long term weather report, to be precise. And over the years I've seldom found it wrong." Todd, looking pale, said grimly, "We have plenty of things to worry about besides the weather." They became silent, all thinking about Carolyn. "It has been a tragic year for us at Collinwood," Eliza- beth agreed quietly. "But then this is only a very small part of the world." Todd's boyish face was almost reproachful. "It happens that this small area is the nearest and dearest to us," he said. "So what takes place here holds the most importance to our group." "And rightly," Professor Stokes nodded wisely. Roger glanced Jeff's way. "Done any painting lately?" "No," he replied rather awkwardly, "not since"--he hesitated, too late realizing what he was saying--"not since Nancy Hodiak was murdered." There was an unhappy silence. Then Roger said solemnly, "That was the start of the tragedies here." Julia Hoffman said quietly, "You are forgetting the attack on Daphne Budd." "Of course," Roger admitted with some embarrass- ment, I don't know why I did that." Elizabeth sighed "So much has happened in so short a time." "True," Stokes said. "It is my opinion that the police are not able to cope with this type of criminal." Julia flashed him a warning glance across the table. "None of us are too well qualified to follow your esoteric deductions. I think you should save them for some other time." The stout man took the hint and his face flamed crimson. "Sorry. The table is not the place to discuss such matters. My apologies to you all." Elizabeth's attention had been caught and she sur- prised the others by telling the professor, "I think you have a perfect right to talk about your deductions con- cerning the crimes at any time. After all, we are close friends. We are all of us part of a close circle. No one should take offense. And I, for one, would be interested in anything you have to offer." Professor Stokes looked both pleased and embarrassed. "That is most kind of you, dear lady," he said. "But I believe Julia is right. What I have to offer is of such small importance it is better postponed." Roger, with a shade of his old stern manner said, "I think the police are criticized too often in instances like this. We mustn't be too quick to condemn them." Todd commented unhappily, "Still I maintain there have been enough unsolved crimes in the area. The police should come up with something." |
In certain publicity stills, it's quite obvious that Carolyn is indeed going commando. I guess it depends on the lighting.
