MRS. OTERY. It’s the oldest part of the house.

HARRY. It comes back to me that I used to sleep there.

MRS. OTERY. That may be. If you’ll come down with me——

Harry. I’m curious to see that room first.

(She bars the way.)

MRS. OTERY (thin-lipped and determined). You can’t go in there.

HARRY. Your reasons?

MRS. OTERY. It’s—locked. I tell you it’s just an empty room.

HARRY. There must be a key.

MRS. OTERY. It’s—lost.
