- Gregory.
- It's a very handsome room.
:18:05
Yes, but to see it like this...
:18:09
I remember parties in this room
when it was full of flowers and light.
:18:13
Those must have been wonderful days.
:18:16
It's all dead in here.
:18:18
The whole place seems to smell of death.
:18:21
There. It will all be fresh again
in a moment.
:18:29
That's where she kept her treasures.
:18:31
Things she collected
on her tours around the world.
:18:33
- The glass is broken.
- It was broken that night.
:18:36
All the things were disarranged,
but there was nothing missing.
:18:41
I know all these by heart.
:18:43
It was a great treat
when she'd unlock them...
:18:45
and take them out
and tell me all their stories.
:18:48
- Careful, dearest.
- She wore this glove in Romeo and juliet...
:18:51
at the command performance
at Covent Garden.
:18:55
Gounod signed it for her afterwards.
:18:57
I never knew what happened
to the other glove.
:18:59
I used to ask her sometimes...
:19:00
but she'd only laugh
and say she'd given it away.
:19:03
A very great admirer.
She would never tell me who.
:19:06
I wish I could have seen her.
:19:08
Let me show her to you.
:19:23
That's as the Empress Theodora.
:19:27
That was her greatest role.
:19:30
When she sang it in St. Petersburg...
:19:32
the Czar used to come
to every performance.
:19:34
She was very beautiful,
very much like you.
:19:39
It was there that I found her,
there in front of the fire...
:19:45
under her own portrait.
:19:48
I was in bed, and something woke me.
I've never known what.
:19:51
I came running down the stairs...
:19:55
frightened, as if I knew
what had happened.
:19:58
She had been strangled.
