• Mrs. Dudley : [Eleanor has just been shown her room after she arrives]  I can't keep the rooms the way I'd like, but there's no one else they could get that would help me.

  Eleanor Lance : How very nice.

  Mrs. Dudley : I set dinner on the dining room sideboard at 6. I clear up in the morning. I have breakfast for you at 9. I don't wait on people. I don't stay after I set out the dinner, not after it begins to get dark. I leave before the dark.

  Eleanor Lance : Your husband?

  Mrs. Dudley : We live over in town, miles away.

  Eleanor Lance : Yes.

  Mrs. Dudley : So there won't be anyone around if you need help.

  Eleanor Lance : I understand.

  Mrs. Dudley : We couldn't hear you. In the night.

  Eleanor Lance : Do you have any idea when Dr. Markway...

  Mrs. Dudley : [cuts her off]  No one could. No one lives any nearer than town. No one will come any nearer than that.

  Eleanor Lance : I know.

  Mrs. Dudley : In the night. In the dark.

  [Mrs. Dudley grins and leaves]
