Then & Now
Christine: I am confused. Elizabeth has the only key to the closed wing, yet there are duplicates, all with the same distinctive bow that prevents them from being slid under doors. David just happened to find one somewhere and left it lying on his desk where his aunt could find it. So where did the key stuck in the lock of the room Vicki is in come from?
I love how Roger toys with David, letting him know that he suspects David had something to do with Vicki's absence, and then enjoys a drink while doing nothing about it.
John: Yeah, the fact that Roger seems convinced that David knows more than he's saying, yet he doesn't turn to corporal punishment to find out, makes you wonder if he's beginning to think Vicki's absence would benefit him.
Shadows on the Wall
Christine: I think it may be a while before we see the crystal ball again, but it is sure to show up in the hands of others across time.
John: I wish it had gone on to play a more important role in David's life. It's pretty easy to write everything off as his own fabrications, as opposed to his tapping into the house's spiritual offerings...
So does Burke giving Carolyn a drink qualify as contributing to the delinquency of a minor? Hopefully we don't need to add an underage-drinking tracker!
What stood out to you during this viewing of the episode?
So was Elizabeth so fond of David that she would believe anything he said? Or has being inside the house for 18 years and not getting any fresh air affected her thinking? How could she believe that Davi would not have used the key? Did she think that he just liked looking at it? If there was a key that wasn't where it was supposed to be and a missing governess, maybe there was no connection, but wouldn't it be worth it just to take a look in the locked-up area just to ensure that she wasn't there? It's not as if Elizabeth had an appointment to be somewhere else - surely she could have spared a few minutes to look.
ReplyDeleteSo the hotel has one of those modern devices called a radio that allows a person to listen to music. Maybe someone at Collinwood should think about getting one too. If they had some form of entertainment, they wouldn't have to write letters to themselves or constantly drink or argue in order to occupy their time.
Based on what we've observed between Elizabeth and David since Vicki's (and our) arrival at Collinwood, I think the answer to your initial question is an unqualified, "Yes."
