MRS MILLS :
Ah, those were the days.
:03:05
[Bell rings]
:03:11
Mr Tuttle, your hair.
:03:15
[Lock clicks]
:03:21
Yes ?
:03:22
good morning, ma 'am.
we 've come about the--
:03:25
oh, yes, of course.
:03:28
Come in.
:03:31
I wasn 't expecting you so soon.
:03:41
You are... ?
:03:42
I'm Berha Mills, ma 'am.
:03:44
And this is Edmund Tuttle.
:03:46
Pleased to meet you, ma 'am.
:03:48
You must be the gardener.
:03:49
That's right. The gardener.
:03:52
And this young lady
is called Lydia.
:03:55
Have you had
much experience in service ?
:03:58
oh, don 't let that angel face
fool you, ma 'am.
:04:01
She 's older than she looks.
:04:03
Can you iron ?
:04:07
what's the matter?
Has the cat got your tongue ?
:04:09
She can 't talk, ma 'am.
:04:13
The poor little mite 's a mute.
:04:15
oh.
:04:16
oh, but she 's
a good little worker.
:04:18
I can promise you that.
:04:19
All right.
:04:22
All right. The other girl
I had spoke too much, anyway.
:04:24
Follow me.
Mrs Mills, you and the girl...
:04:27
will sleep in the attic room
at the top of the stairs.
:04:29
-And you, Mr...
- Tuttle, ma 'am.
:04:33
You could sleep in the shed
around the back.
:04:37
As you can see, the housework
has been rather neglected...
:04:40
since the servants disappeared
almost a week ago.
:04:43
You mean they just vanished?
:04:45
GRACE: Into thin air.
:04:47
No notice, nothing. They didn 't
even collect their wages.
:04:50
They... they just left us.
:04:52
MRS MILLS :
what a strange thing to do.
:04:55
GRACE: You 'll soon find out
there are times...
:04:57
when this house is not
exactly an ideal home.
