Dark Shadows | Victoria Arrives at Collinwood to Apply as a GovernessAdded:
The place was designed for a staff of 100. Now they got a staff of eight.
Me and Mrs. Johnson.
She's about as useful as a bucket without a bottom.
>> Still, not every family has a house like this.
Or a whole town named after them.
>> Come again?
>> Collins.
Collinsport.
>> Never heard of that.
>> Who's that?
>> Barnaby, maybe?
Something with a barn in it.
One of the real important ones from way back.
Barnaby, rich rich people.
>> Barnabas.
His name was Barnabas Collins.
And he was the finest man this family ever knew.
Welcome to Collinwood.
You'll have to imagine us on a better day.
