:34:01
That is, I thought that no one else knew.
:34:05
Take this.
:34:06
No, thank...
:34:07
Drink it.
:34:12
To be absolutely blunt about it...
:34:16
...Nicholas believes that Elizabeth
may have been interred prematurely.

:34:20
What?
:34:21
I hasten to assure you both...
:34:23
...that such is not the case.
:34:25
Elizabeth was quite dead.
:34:26
I would stick my reputation
on that fact.

:34:29
Then why...
:34:31
...does he believe it?
:34:33
Because of what happened to
his mother many years ago.

:34:35
I'm afraid I don't understand.
:34:38
I told mister Barnard
what Nicholas saw that day.

:34:41
No, my dear. Your mother was not
tortured to death...

:34:45
...as you were told.
:34:47
But...
:34:49
She was tortured, yes...
:34:51
...but not to death.
:34:54
Do I make myself clear?
:34:55
Do you mean to say that...?
:34:57
Your mother was walled up in
her tomb while yet alive.

:35:02
Oh, no.
:35:07
From that day forth...
:35:09
...the very thought of premature
interment...

:35:11
...was enough to drive your brother
into convulsions of horror.

:35:14
Nicholas broods about it
constantly.

:35:18
Already he has told me he has heard
Elizabeth's walking the corridors...

:35:22
...even that he has heard her
speaking his name.

:35:25
- Dr. Leon.
- Sir?

:35:28
You seem to forget that we all
heard the harpsichord playing.

:35:32
No, I have not forgotten that, sir.
:35:34
It is why I said before that I thought...
:35:37
...that no one but Nicholas and
myself knew about this.

:35:40
What do you mean?
:35:41
Someone, I fear, has discovered
Nicholas' secret...

:35:44
...and is using it as a terrible advantage
:35:47
The servant, perhaps.
:35:48
I could almost more easily believe
that...

:35:54
That what, Dona Medina?
:35:57
Nothing.
:35:59
I spoke without thought.
