The Horror of Frankenstein Page #7

- Perhaps.

- Then I shall satisfy your curiosity.

Come with me.

Come on.

In here, my dear.

Step inside.

You can't see anything from there.

Victor, please let me out!

I'll do anything, Victor!

Victor, I heard a scream.

Didn't you hear anything?

No, my dear, I didn't hear a thing.

Incidentally, have you decided

whether to take the position I offered you?

- Alys has left us.

- So suddenly?

You know how unreliable

staff are these days.

- Well?

- Well, I have nowhere else to go.

It's agreed then.

A glass of champagne to celebrate?

It's hardly cause for celebration.

I can think of no better cause to celebrate

than your taking up

permanent residence in my house.

Really?

As my housekeeper.

You excelled yourself.

That was a marvellous dinner.

Good, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Will there be anything else you require?

No, I don't think so.

I'll see you at breakfast.

Goodnight.

- Victor?

- Hmm. Yes?

Nevermind. Goodnight.

No.

He... he hurt me.

Nasty monster.

There, there. It's all right.

Everything's going to be all right.

Thank god, sir.

I've never been so glad

to see anyone in my life.

- What's the matter?

- A monster in the woods.

- In which direction did he go?

- Oh, that way.

Towards the castle.

Can you take me and my...

Victor?

Victor?

Victor?

What on earth do you think

you're doing?

Give her to me.

I said, give her to me.

Stay there.

Well, you've really got yourself

into trouble this time.

What we've got to do now is to make sure

you don't get me into trouble too.

Now we've got to hide you and quickly.

This should keep you quiet

for a while.

Don't be such a baby.

It's only to make you sleep.

- Henry! Thank god you're here.

- Have you seen it?

I was attacked by this huge man.

- Where did this happen?

- Upstairs, in the laboratory.

But I was in my bedroom

when I came round.

- Where's Victor?

- I don't know.

- I haven't seen him.

- Upstairs.

- Victor.

- Henry? And minions.

A little late to come calling, isn't it?

My dear, I thought you were in bed.

- Where is it, Victor?

- What?

- You know what.

- I assure you, I don't.

My god, company at this hour.

- Is this where it happened, Elizabeth?

- Yes.

- Victor, didn't you hear anything?

- Hear what?

Where what happened?

I was attacked!

You've been having

nightmares again, my dear.

Victor, I have reason to believe

that you have been harbouring

a criminal maniac, or worse.

Me?

Stay away from there, little girl.

Oh, really, Henry.

You're beginning to annoy me.

- You deny it?

- Of course I do.

Sir, kindly keep

your child under control.

Then you wouldn't mind

if I searched the castle?

I most certainly would.

I could get a warrant.

Then I suggest you do just that.

And now perhaps...

Little girl, don't do that.

Very well, Victor, I shall leave a guard here

and I shall return within the hour.

Remain on guard downstairs.

Nobody is to leave the castle.

- Very good, sir.

- You, come into town with me.

Victor, I'm sorry I caused so much trouble.

But I was attacked.

Perhaps he's gone now.

He was quite a nice monster, really.
