“Do you suppose that she really went there and never came back?”
“That is what they say.”
“Then they must believe that she is kept there.”
“Yes, so they do.”
“Why do they not take some steps in the matter?”
“What can they do? She is his daughter. Some of the villagers who have been to the Hall at different times say that they heard her playing and singing.”
“That does not sound like imprisonment.”
“The caged bird sings.”
“Then you think she is a prisoner?”
“I think it odd that she has never come out, not even to go to church.”
