- Sir Henry: [Adamant has been presented with several photographs featuring himself] Do you remember that year and where the photographs were taken?
- Adam Adamant: Yes, quite clearly. St. Petersburg, the summer of 1901.
- Sir George: [laughs] You can't be that certain. I mean, it's sixty years ago!
- Adam Adamant: The year before last, sir, is very clear in my mind.
- William E. Simms: I should make myself scarce, if I were you.
- Georgina Jones: I'm more than scarce, I'm unique.
- Adam Adamant: [on phone] Oil, used to drive ships, trains and cars, and heat houses?
- Georgina Jones: [on other line] Yes, sort of, why?
- Adam Adamant: In that case, Miss Jones, on no account, on no account are you to go anywhere near Mede Hall House. Now do you understand?
- Georgina Jones: Why?
- Adam Adamant: Because, Miss Jones, Mede Hall house is not a ship.
- [hangs up]
- Sir Henry: Trouble, Adamant?
- Adam Adamant: In my day, Sir Henry, young ladies did as they were told.
- [leaves]
- Sir Henry: At his age, he really ought to know better.
- Adam Adamant: Gentlemen, I rely on you to be surprised by nothing that happens in this house, today.
- Georgina Jones: There's a man here, I saw him. In a mask.
- Adam Adamant: His voice?
- Georgina Jones: Horrible. Like a saw blade.
- Adam Adamant: The Face. The fiend still lives. Stay close, Miss Jones, there is evil in this house.
- Grand Duchess Vorokhov: Oh, but he promised he would not abandon me, not for her!
- Adam Adamant: The only thing he will never abandon, madam, is his evil purpose.
- Grand Duchess Vorokhov: But he promised!
- William E. Simms: [on phone] I understand that she may have gone to the house.
- Adam Adamant: [on other line] After my expressly forbidding her to do so.
- William E. Simms: Being expressly forbidden, sir, is something Miss Jones does not understand.
