Tom Jennings appears, startling Nicholas. I finished the wiring, the handyman says--was there anything else you wanted, Mr. Blair? No, says Nicholas, it's late, you'd better go. Tom wants to check out the cellar, see what else needs doing, but Nicholas assures him the cellar is in good condition. Tom wants to check the foundations and barges into the room Nicholas never had a chance to lock. He's surprised to see the coffin, which Nicholas says was there when he moved in.Tom is surprised and rather grossed out, but Nicholas says it's empty and he's getting rid of it--it was probably left as a practical joke. Tom doesn't find it funny. He says he'd better be going, and leaves, quickly. Nicholas says, "Too bad you had to open that door, Jennings. I could almost pity you, knowing what must be in store for you now."[/spoiler]
Nice photo of Quentin today. Looks as if he's ready to celebrate New Year's Eve early!
Charity realizes there really IS no time to lose--the minute Quentin falls asleep, Petofi will have him--forever! Horrified, Charity slides out of bed and goes down to the drawing room, where Quentin is drinking his brandy. Mustn't sleep, he tells himself drowsily--too much to do before I leave, but maybe...just for a minute... The glass begins to fall, as in Charity/Pansy's vision."[/spoiler]
