"See Mistress Nancy Molesworth, sur?"
"Yes."
"No, sur. She is always watched. She caan't laive her rooms without owld maaster knowin'."
"In what part of the house does she reside?"
The maid told me. It was in the same wing as that in which my own bed-chamber was situated, but the floor above. The door which opened to it was also watched.
"Are the watchers faithful?" I asked.
"Sam Daddo and Tom Juliff, sur. They'll do nothin' but what the owld maaster do tell 'em."
"But why is she watched so closely?"
"She've tried to git away once, sur. Tha's why."
