Fort Holland.
:05:11
From the gate,
it seemed strangely dreamlike.
:05:13
The garden had life of its own.
:05:15
I was to know all the nooks and crannies
of that great house...
:05:19
to love them or hate them,
according to what happened there.
:05:22
In that house,
I was to hear a strange confession...
:05:25
a confession only madness could have
wrung from the lips of a sane person.
:05:30
And yet it was in the same room...
:05:32
with the candles lit, that I made
the discovery of my own love...
:05:35
knew happiness, deep through the heart.
:05:39
My room...
:05:40
I still can remember my delight,
unpacking, getting ready for dinner.
:05:44
Yet, all the while,
I wondered at the stillness of Fort Holland.
:05:48
The fact that I saw no one
on the garden paths or in the rooms.
:05:58
Yes?
:06:00
- Miss Connell, it's dinner.
- Thank you.
:06:13
- Miss Connell?
- Yes.
:06:14
I'm Wesley Rand.
Paul wanted me to introduce myself.
:06:18
It seems we're dining by ourselves,
Miss Connell.
:06:21
But I think I'll introduce you
to everyone anyway.
:06:23
Here in the master's chair, sits the master,
my half-brother, Paul Holland.
:06:26
But you've met him already.
:06:28
Yes, on the boat.
:06:31
That chair in the corner
is the particular property of Mrs. Rand...
:06:34
mother to both of us
and much too good for either of us...
:06:36
too wise, in fact,
to live under the same roof.
:06:38
- She prefers the village dispensary.
- She's a doctor?
:06:41
No, she just runs the place.
:06:43
She does everything else, though.
An amazing woman. You'd like her.
:06:46
I like her already.
:06:47
That's my chair,
and this is Miss Connell, who is beautiful.
:06:51
Thank you.
:06:52
Who sits there?
:06:54
My brother's wife.
:06:57
Here, this isn't cozy at all.
:06:59
Makes me seem aloof,
and I'm anything but that.
