Replying...
Intro. The morning after his return to the Collionwood estate the night before, Barnabas is sitting at the head of the table during breakfast, trying to understand what life is like for his family after almost 200 years of 'sleep'. As he tries to understand everything Elizabeth explains to him in response to his questions, a woman calmly steps into the dining room, catching Barnabas' attention. His eyes widen as his world seems to continue in slow motion, watching her every move as she makes her way to her seat around the table. Young David gently draws attention, noting his uncle's distant fascination. - introducing her to her new governess as she looks toward Barnabas: "That's Madison nickname... She believes in ghosts like me." he tells Barnabas as he slowly rises from his chair and approaches Madison, not losing eye contact with her as he approaches. \She timidly offers her hand for health
