Unknown Story
Storyboard Text
- I’ll leave you now so that you can unpack. But before you go to bed, would you be kind enough to pop into the sitting room on the ground floor and sign the book?
- I’m so glad you appeared, I was beginning to get worried.
- That’s all right. You mustn’t worry about me.
- And what about supper, my dear? Did you manage to get anything to eat before you came here?
- After unpacking his suitcase and washing his hands, he trotted downstairs to the ground floor and entered the living room. His landlady wasn’t there, but the fire was glowing in the hearth, and the little dachshund was still sleeping soundly in front of it. The room was wonderfully warm and cozy. I’m a lucky fellow, he thought, rubbing his hands. This is a bit of all right.e found the guest book lying open on the piano, so he took out his pen and wrote down his name and address. There were only two other entries above his on the page, and as one always does with guest books, he started to read them. One was a Christopher Mulholland from Cardiff. The other was Gregory W. Temple from Bristol.
- I’m not a bit hungry, thank you.
- Gregory Temple? Christopher Mulholland?
- Look here, this last entry is over two years old. And Christopher Mulholland’s is nearly a year before that—more than three years ago.
- Well, you see, both of these names—Mulholland and Temple—I not only seem to remember each one of them separately, so to speak, but somehow or other, in some peculiar way, they both appear to be sort of connected together as well.
- Such charming boys.
- Come over here now, dear, and sit down beside me on the sofa and I’ll give you a nice cup of tea and a ginger biscuit before you go to bed.
- I’m almost positive I’ve heard those names before somewhere. Isn’t that odd?
- You really shouldn’t bother, I didn’t mean you to do anything like that.
- Oh, yes.
- Mr. Mulholland was a great one for his tea. Never in my life have I seen anyone drink as much tea as dear, sweet Mr. Mulholland.
- You did sign the book, didn’t you?
- I suppose he left fairly recently.
- Excuse my asking, but haven’t there been any other guests here except them in the last two or three years?
- No, my dear, only you.
- He never left. He’s still here. Mr. Temple is also here. They’re on the fourth floor, both of them together.”
