(Inside the house) The man
leads you from the front door, down a corridor and into a room to the left. He offers you
all a seat. The room is decorated in seaman fashion with nets, fishing tackle and shells
hung around the room. The man sits facing you on the other side of the table. He says The
house is empty at present. My family are finding new business contacts and the servants
have been dismissed for financial reasons. I do not recognise any of you. Please give an
account of yourself and explain what you want. |
