Madeleine (Diana Decker) and Anne (Rona Anderson) have a conversation with Paul (William Sylvester). Most of the time he talk to both women and they answer directly to him, but here and there they talk directly to each other about 'All Souls Eve' and the traditions in the French village they are visiting. After that, when Madeleine leaves, they say goodbye to each other and have an have a little talk too. Being related to 'All Souls Eve' is sort of plot-relevant.

Later, Madeleine and Karen (Tracy Reed) talk about antiques at Madeleine's shop, very briefly, though. After that, during a party, Madeleine introduce her to the folks present, and have a little talk between them, too.

There are a few dialogues between unnamed and named female characters, v.g. the old Gipsy woman (Marie Burke) telling Anne she has the Black Death Mark on her, or Madeleine talking about Karen with some unnamed friends in the party. In a later scene, after Karen pass out after being burnt with a crucifix, the same three women talk about giving Karen to Count Sinistre (Hubert Noël) and Tania to perform a ritual.
