:40:01
grief over the death
of a loved one...
:40:03
can lead people to do
the strangest things.
:40:10
GRACE: get rid of it.
I don 't want it in the house.
:40:13
MRS MILLS : Yes, ma 'am.
:40:25
Mrs Mills, it's cold.
:40:28
why don 't you come
and sit by the fire ?
:40:41
Thank you very much, ma 'am.
:40:44
So... tell me about
when you worked here before.
:40:48
Did you have
to look after children then ?
:40:50
No, I was in charge of
organizing the housework.
:40:54
Hmm.
were there many servants ?
:40:57
oh, about fifteen.
:41:00
Though in the end...
:41:02
there were just
the three of us left.
:41:04
why?
:41:05
My employers moved to London.
:41:07
They came here
less and less...
:41:11
it being
so out of the way like.
:41:13
So gradually the house
just became empty.
:41:18
Everybody ends up leaving
this damned island.
:41:22
My family left
in the summer of 1 940....
:41:25
just before the invasion.
:41:29
That was the last
I've heard of them.
:41:33
ohh.
:41:35
I don 't blame them.
:41:38
Actually, we left, too.
:41:41
Although, you know...
:41:43
sometimes when
you leave a place...
:41:45
it's like it's there
with you all the time.
:41:50
I always felt like I
never left this house.
:41:53
why did you leave ?
:41:55
oh, 'twas on account
of the tuberculosis.
:41:58
The whole area was evacuated.
