Joan VO. She acts in these, while some just read VOs in a hushed voice. Barnabas talks his way out of a skewering... I think at this point he could have claimed to be the only member of the family left in England, which would be his reason for coming to America, to be with Collinses. Less verification needed. Barnabas meets Beth in the woods... not remarkable lines really, but I love Mr. Frid's acting here.
When you're alone, and life is making you lonely, you can always go... to the Collinsport docks... Sophie Barnes, someone who seems to teeter on the edge of perhaps being a prostitute, perhaps not, from moment to moment, loses her "compact"... isn't that a modern expression? He didn't take hers and later give it to Grandmamamama, did he? It couldn't have been fancy enough and SB's was smaller I think, but the thought occurred. Captain Strathmore, a character on the fringes...
Quentin seems to be about to murder Edith. Bum bum BUM. [spoiler]And it's over the Secret, which everyone assumes is about money. She should say, Well Quentin, we've got a vampire chained up in the graveyard. Satisfied now? Don't spend it all in one place![/spoiler]
