Yvette and Mayor Banjo are back in the library. Goldsworth removes her coat, with a brilliantly white inside.
She wears a fitting, black coat and a veiled pillbox hat sits on top of her shoulder length, wavy, black hair. "Do you know who I am?" the woman asks as she enters. Goldsworth opens the door revealing a woman standing there. "Oh, Goldsworth, I was-" Banjo turns around, but discovers the doors have disappeared. The doors have books on the back of them, and so look like a part of the wall. Goldsworth exits, closing the doors behind him. "Yvette, will you attend to the Mayor and give him anything he requires," Goldsworth instructs, glancing at the two of them. The maid is present when the men enter the library. "Pardon me, sir," the man impedes, "but tonight you may well feel obliged to my employer for the use of an alias."īanjo sniffs around and checks his shoe as the man hangs his coat. "May I take your coat? It is Mayor Banjo, isn't it?" "Yes, indeed, sir, you are expected, Mayor," he confirms. The man from before opens the door, "Good evening." He is wearing a brown suit and a nice cream tie. The man hurries out of the kitchen.Īnother man with short, light brown hair is standing by the front door, being growled at by the dogs. She turns, the knife in her hand pointed directly at the man. The cook is sharpening a knife as she watches Joseph McCarthy on the television. The man enters the kitchen, which is white tiled and narrow.
She sniffs the air, and then examines the bottom of her shoes. "You have your instructions?" he confirms. "Oui, monsieur," she replies in her French accent. He speaks to the maid in a proper English accent. The man enters and turns off the record player. All of the walls are covered with books, with the exception of one wall, a window.Ī young, blonde, french maid is dancing while polishing a glass. The library is a somewhat more comfortable room than the hall, composed of dark colors. He steps briskly down the Hall steps toward the library. He enters and hangs up his coat, revealing a black tailcoat, his collar popped up ever so slightly. The man opens the front door of Hill House and wipes off his foot. "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" plays in the background. The end: Conservatory, ball room, bathroom, and kitchen.īy the staircase is the door to the basement steps. To the right: Study, library, and billiard room. There are several doors on each side of the hall and three at the end. It is furnished in dark wood, and brass, with crystal chandeliers. The Hall of Hill House is remarkable, elegant but not gaudy. He looks in disgust at the dogs, who aren't bothered at all.
He pauses and checks the bottom of his feet. The man cinches their chain so it won't allow them to reach the door. The dogs trot away to gnaw on the bone as he rolls up the bag. He quickly pulls a big beef bone out of the bag and hurls it to them. The dogs approach the man and leap towards him. He exits the car, holding a bag and looking at two barking guard dogs. The sky above is dark and growing stormier by the second.Ī man with short black hair and a dark trench coat takes out a key and unlocks the gate. It pulls up to the gate of a large, imposing mansion, looking very New England - Hill House. A nice, black car travels through the wind of an oncoming storm.
