You can't do this to Roxanne, insists Barnabas--she has done nothing to you. I said she would die from YOUR attack! says Valerie, not from anything I will do. Angelique, please! he begs. Valerie, Barnabas, she corrects--you must remember to call me Valerie--I don't want the embarrassment of being seen by the rest of the family. She closes the double doors--what is your decision? Listen to reason, pleads Barnabas. I want what I know I want, she says. Let me at least see her and talk to her, says Barn. I've known you a long time, she reminds him, you double crossed me more than once, betrayed me. I guarantee that I will not betray you this time, he says. Perhaps not, she agrees, picking up and looking at a feather pen, at any rate, to avoid unpleasantness, I think you should write your dear Roxanne a letter--don't go and see her--she throws the pen on the desk.[/spoiler]
Lovely to see Colin Hamilton featured today. It was like DS suddenly becoming an Agatha Christie play when Inspector Hamilton showed up.
I wish he'd been brought back in another role.
Barnabas leads Hamilton down into the basement, but Roxanne is gone. Barnabas looks around for her, to no avail. Well, says Hamilton, where is this strange young woman you were telling me about? He must have taken her away from here, laments Barnabas. If she ever existed, sniffs Hamilton. But she DID exist, insists Barn, why should I lie to you about this?--look around you--why do you think this equipment is here?--Julia got it so she could revive that girl. I'm a simple police inspector, says Hamilton, and must of necessity deal with things that are real--things that are unreal, I leave to the writers of fiction--as far as I'm concerned, the reality of this case is the increasing guilt of Quentin Collins. He leaves the basement; Barnabas follows.[/spoiler]
