Scene to illustrate
We see the couple together along with a ruined manor house in the b/g. The house can be shown surrounded by undergrowth. No need to go into detail re the house – you can show the last remaining ruined wall of the house and a tall, empty arched window – see pages 6 & 7. Maybe show a raven perched at the window, to add an eerie element.
