You will wash yourselves, otherwise there will be no supper, is that clear?
[Miss Price leaves the room.]
A house of horrors, that's what we've come to.
Poisoned dragon's liver?!
Poisoned dragon's liver.
Do you poison the dragon or just the liver?
It comes prepared. It's part of the school equipment.
Is this London?
'Course it is. Can't you smell that lovely sooty air?
I found the door open, the curtains closedóthe house was deserted.
Why on earth would someone do a thing like that?
I would say this may have something to do with itÖ [gestures towards an unexploded bomb]
Merciful heavens! I should be terrified at the very idea of living here.
You would have thought so, wouldn't you?

Now you see why I closed down the college.
I will cause the bed and all its occupants to disappear.

Is it really, my dear?
