(A railway cutting. A wild, stormy Summer night. The Signal Man is in his signalbox. He recieves a message from down the line. He wires back a message. We hear the strange, eerie singing of the wires. From the gloom we see the figure of a man - Walter Hartright. He is about 30 years of age, attractive, dark, open. He carries a bag and an easel. He sees the Signal Man checking the tracks with his lantern below him.) Walter Hartright: Hallo! Below there! Hallo! (A lightning flash) Walter Hartright: Signal Man? Down there...Hallo! (Pause) Signal Man: Who calls to me in the dead of the night? (Walter steps out of the shadows into the light of the Signal Man's lantern.) Walter Hartright: Hartright. My name is Walter Hartright. (He climbs down to the Signal Man's level.) Signal Man: What are you doing here, on a night like this? Walter Hartright: I'm lost sir. I'm trying to find my way to Limm'ridge House- The train broke down and I'm forced to walk. Signal Man: Branch train broke down - what you say is true. Walter Hartright: Yes, I heard the wires singing in the wind - The noise of them led me to you. Signal Man: Why are you going to Limm'ridge House? Walter Hartright: I have the post of drawing master - I must arrive tonight for I start tomorrow... Sir, you look upon me with such dread. (Pause) Signal Man: Last night I had a vision That a stranger would appear He stood right where you are - A man such as yourself. "Alarm on the line!" he said Alarm on the line! So I tapped out the message. And the answer came back "All well both ways" But he said "You'll mark my words When a year to the day The dead lie on the tracks! The dead lie on the tracks!" Walter Hartright: I can assure you sir, I know of no imminent danger! Signal Man: A man such as yourself! (Suddenly there is a strange soung in the air. The telegraph wires sound again in the signal box) Signal Man: They are calling me from down the line. There's danger somewhere along the line. (The sound of the wires grows to a terrible pitch. From behind Hartright, from the depths of the tunnel, a hand reaches out and touches him on the shoulder. It is a woman dressed in white (Anne Catherick). She is in her early 20's, fair, attractive, but her face is drawn and sorrowful. Her manner is wild and insistent.) Walter Hartright: (startled) Oh, my God!
