Setting up the first part of Scene 94 (as it's scripted and notated in DC's script), beginning with Sunday's quote -
Page 34/Scene 94 - Carolyn: 'I'm fascinated, Barnabas. We all are. The restoration is really coming along.'
- coming up, followed in the script by:
BARNABAS Thank you, Carolyn.
CAROLYN Tell me ... did the original Barnabas live in that house on Cadogan Square?
94 CONTD CONTD 94
BARNABAS x to look at Willie's work No, he settled in Coventry. The family place was destroyed during the war.

And that's when Monday's first quote -
Page 35/Scene 94 - Carolyn: 'I shall be in London this summer. You must give me people to look up --'
- comes up, followed by Monday's second quote -
Page 35/Scene 94 - Barnabas: 'I'll be delighted to --'
- coming up.
And as far as any difference in the dialogue goes, the only thing is that Carolyn adds the word "some" to Monday's quote, as in "...give me some people to look up." And I have to say I've always been fascinated by Barnabas replying to that by saying he'd be delighted to. Just what was Frid's subtext when he said that as Barnabas because quite obviously Barnabas couldn't give Carolyn anyone to look up. Did he justify it by presuming Barnabas played along for the moment but later he would simply come up with some excuse? Or did he think Barnabas was as fascinated with Carolyn as she obviously was with him and he already had in the back of his mind that he'd take care of her too overt interest in him by attacking her?[spoiler]Though if he reasoned Barnabas' hope was the latter, that will certainly backfire on him!![/spoiler]
And when it comes to the direction in this part of the scene, after Carolyn mentions to Barnabas that she's fascinated, we see Willie stop to turn back -
- to look at them while Carolyn continues to explain that they're all fascinated, and it isn't until after she says that that Willie actually leaves the room (we don't see him go up the stairs) - and as Carolyn remarks that the restoration is really coming along, as can be seen in Sunday's capture for the slideshow, she turns -
- to look around the room - and even though DC has a note in his script that Carolyn would begin to "walk around" as she remarks on her fascination with the restoration, it isn't until after she completes all of Sunday's quote that she starts to do so - and it's quite interesting how there's a shot of Barnabas keeping a careful eye -
- on her (as if he's possibly already aware that Carolyn's fascination extends not just to the house but to him as well and she could prove to be a problem (there's that question of subtext again)) while she asks if the "original" Barnabas lived on Cadogan Square as she examines a piece -
- and unlike DC's notation in the script, Barnabas does not cross to examine Willie's work because he's off screen as he explains how the "original" Barnabas lived in Coventry and that house was destroyed (such a convenient detail to throw in!!
) as on camera Carolyn moves to begin to examine a chair -
- more closely before she turns back to look at Barnabas, as depicted in Monday's first capture for the slideshow, while she mentions that -
-she'll be in England and asks for some people to look up (and DC's script has a note for that that Carolyn would cross to Barnabas when she asks that, but she actually remains at the chair) - and Barnabas, as depicted in Monday's second capture for the slideshow, not betraying a thing, simply walks over to another chair in the room -
- and says he'd be delighted.
