Да, первый рассказ из сборника, что я успела прочитать, что надо! И написано хорошо, и содержание необычное, но жизненное. Очень понравилось, хотя там...

HARRY
This is only half a picture, I wonder why someone would cut painting in half?
JAMES
Let me take a look.
James comes closer to the portrait first from right and then from left, trying to examine it from every angle.
While doing so he accidently bumps Karl Ivanovich, who, in order to avoid falling, braces his hand against the wall. The seemingly solid surface gives way, revealing a secret passage and the old man cries out as he falls into the dark space
KARL IVANOVICH
A-a-a!
INT-HIDDEN SALON-SAME EVENING
Karl Ivanovich rises from the floor, groaning. Harry helps him to his feet
KARL IVANOVICH
I am all right, thank god.
JAMES
Please forgive my clumsiness.
Karl Ivanovich pats James’ shoulder. The men are fascinated by the new room
With its large Venetian windows and luxurious furnishings it appears similar to the bedroom of the ghostly bride
GEORGES
Don’t you think this salon matches the ghost lady’s bedroom?
He runs his fingertip along the surface of an elegant desk
The finger is covered with dirty dust
HARRY
It seems that someone else lived here yesterday.
Books and bits of lady’s handicraft litter a small desk.
In the center of the room there is a large chaise lounge with a small elegant table placed next to it.
A large silver vase on the table still holds a bouquet of dried field flowers
MILLER
Mister Cardie is right.
JAMES
(touching a cushion on the chaise lounge)
Take a look at this cushion; it still has an imprint of a head!
Captain Wright, Georges and Harry stare at the cushion
CAPTAIN WRIGHT
I see it too.
HARRY
Jamie, you are a hopeless romantic.
Georges touches the cushion
GEORGES
This is incredible!
A lute lies on the seat of the nearby chair. At the foot of the chaise lounge among several dried up roses there is a discarded blood red lady’s cape, made from expensive plush fabric
JAMES
Look, here is her cape.
He picks up the cape and inhales its send slowly
JAMES
(continues)
This room and the ghost bedroom belonged to the same lady.
HARRY
Wait you can tell it from the smell, Sherlock?
JAMES
Yes, it is the same lavender perfume.
James hands Harry the cape
