Mrs. Johnson paces the dark drawing room of the Old House. She looks out the window and sees Barnabas and Julia returning. They enter the house; he begins to light candles. Mrs. Johnson comes out and asks them, did Carolyn tell you anything? Nothing at all, he says. You must not blame her, says Mrs. Johnson, she's blocked it all out--too painful. We know that, says Barnabas, we didn't try to torment her--we simply must know what happened, who this spirit is and how it got control of Collinwood. Why? she asks, what good would it do, you can't prevent it, why add the burden of those sorrows? We were just trying to tell Carolyn that we CAN prevent it, explains Julia. Can prevent it?--you're as mad as she is! exclaims Mrs. Johnson. Look at u very carefully, urges Barnabas--you noted that we haven't changed since you saw us 25 years ago--some terrible disturbance in time brought us here. And when we get back in 1970, says Julia, we can stop everything that's happening here.[/spoiler]
