That is all good because the story is nifty. I do think Quint and Miss Jessel are unfairly maligned. Poor old Mrs Grose. Not sure about those (pesky) kids though. I would be surprised if it turned out they were dead already like in the Sixth Sense.I am knocking out the Turns of the Screw. I think we have about 2 episodes left to do. Should be finished by end November, then I will do Dracula as an exclusive and some Christmas one-offs before starting A Christmas Carol in December.Busy, busy. Hope you all are well. I am well.

0:12.6	Isn't that same?
0:14.4	You tried to get into the locked drawn today, didn't you?

0:23.4	I had so perfectly expected that the return of my pupils would be marked by a demonstration
0:32.4	that I was freshly upset at having to take into account that they were dumb about my absence.
0:38.3	Instead of gaily denouncing and caressing me, they made no allusion to my having failed
0:43.9	them, and I was left for the time on perceiving that she too said nothing to study Mrs. Gross's
0:50.0	odd face. I did this to such purpose that I made sure they had in some way bribed her to silence,
0:57.7	a silence that, however, I would engage to break down on the first private opportunity.
1:03.5	This opportunity came before tea. I secured five minutes with her in the housekeeper's room,

1:40.5	Of course I promised.
1:42.1	But what happened to you?
