dropped off.

And still no sign of that drafted bouncer.

Well, she has missed her chance.

How go our plans?

Your agents have captured every clergyman attached to the cathedral

Does all go well?

No. You should have begun much later in the day.

You have given them time to act against you. Don't criticize me,

Head.

What are they planning to do against me?

Telephoning and telegraphing around the whole of England to find substitute

clergymen for the midnight service.

With what success?

Not much.

Yet. It is Christmas and all the clergy

are busy in their parishes.

But the nation has been roused and

substitutes. will be found.

Then I shall stop them getting to Tatchester.

Slave of the night.

Appear!

Dislocate all railway traffic for 20 miles around the town of Tatchester.

Jam the point.

That won't stop them.

They will come by road.

Creature!

Make every road to Texas that is possible.

Take this bag, open its strings, and fill the countryside

with a blizzard of snow that any clergyman who tries to get

through be buried under six feet of snow and not discovered until next spring.

You cannot do that.

You cannot take life.

Don't tell me what to do!

the countryside with the Jesus.

No, since ever the wolves began to run.

I will have you learn respect.

Shut that noise and listen to me and tell me the truth.

Am I to have the box of delights today?

Who was brought in?

Now, of course, you mean it metaphorically.

Somewhere in this building is the Box of Delights.

Why are you rolling your eyes?

You'd roll your eyes, too, if you were upside down.

Somebody there?

long enough.

Should search for the box.

The box!

That's the old man.

How holy.

Or may I call you Ramun?

Yes.

I know your secret.

The time has come for us to strike a bargain.

You can never escape from here.

I will sell you the Box of Delights in exchange for your elixir of life.

Will you deal?

No.

Because you're a greedy scoundrel. Unfit to have long life.

I will make the offer once more.

And only one.

But first, know your fate.

At the touch of this switch, the whole of Chester's missionary college was so

gone.

Blown into flames.

Instead of danger, lad with water, when this wheel opens the sink.

Come, Fred.

But you do not possess a box of delight.

And you never will. No.

Well, boy, the waterfall has taken some of the impudence out of you. I

made it run faster and fiercer into your face, and there's an eternity of it

ahead of you.

If you don't tell the gentleman what you told me, that I shall have the box

of delights by midnight tonight.

No, you shan't.

Boy.

You told me that I should have it.

I did not.

I said you'd have it under your hand.

And you've had it under your hand.

You had it under your hand today and you didn't know.

Tell me where it is!

I will tell you another thing.

You can peg me under the waterfall or melt me in the fire or blow me through

winds. Yet I will never tell you another thing.

Except that you had the box today and you

didn't know it.

So, squish to you!

pegged under the waterfall ever again.

I've been set free!

You see, you have deceived yourself.

The box will not be yours, and my secret will never be yours, whatever happens

to me.

Very well.

But I shall have my revenge.

I'm going to drown you, drown you like a rat in a trap.

Listen!

The sluice is working beautifully.

There's a great head of water on the lake.

Thirty feet of damned -up flood water, and it's coming.

For you.

Me?

I'm going to my hiding place.

Far away.

You will not leave.

All the exits to this place are now guarded by the public.

Police?

The chapters?

Then I shall give them a war.

that size, have you?

Mr. Paulings, I've lost your box, and now I can't go swift, and I can't get

to my proper size, and the water's roaring in, and he's got you all chained

and I don't know what to do.

Come on!

Come on, young gentleman, let's pass it.

Remember that time at Seaking's, when the walls ran very close, yet I got

and took through a picture on the wall. Yes, but there are no pictures here.

Come in here.

Well, now.

Now, I can't reach my coat.

If you rumpage in the pocket, there's a pencil there and you may find some

paper.

It's huge. I couldn't lift that.

Well, get into the pocket, Master Harker.

Inside you may find a broken off bit of lead and a crumpled ticket or something.

And let me guide your head.

So far, so good.

Now, perhaps we'd better be shoving off.

We must see if we can save the other prisoners.

Yes, go on, Louisa, and peek up.

One of the gang, name of Jew, I think, Tosh, after he said Tosh, disappeared

with two friends.

This place will be funny to the city.

Fool of a thing.

There, by the jacket.

Your Grace!

How providential.

What has brought you up here?

Hiya, Grace.

The chief here thought there must be something in Master Harker's story.

all, the way he stuck to it.

There you are, Master Harker.

Inspector, what's the time?

Well, it must be nearly quarter to twelve midnight.

And I know what you're thinking.

But there's been such a snowstorm and the drift's a ten feet high between

Tatchester and here.

Nevertheless, my friends, we must try.

No use.

Amner Brown made this storm with his magic.

Oh, Master K, one little box and so many people.

Very well, hold hands, everyone.

And let us go soon.

Get your lads away from my unicorn.

Even

now,

we've not much time.

Darkness. Christmas Eve and the cathedral in darkness.

Your Grace!

I never did think I would see you again.

Thank the Lord. But what's wrong here?

Some villain's been fiddling.

I shall do it, Your Grace.

I've another ten minutes.

You shall have your lights.

I hope so.

Well, in heaven's name is my might. Here, my lord.

Here.

Yes,

fair.

Plenty.

Thank you.

How do you like this?

Oh!

Well done.

I'll be good.

Come in, the service will be held.

What's the matter? Did you have a bad dream?

Oh, no.

A wonderful one.

Merry Christmas.
