"What harm?"
"It is not for me to say."
"By whose command was I brought here?"
"I shall not tell you."
"But you can tell me where I am. This seems a part of a big house, an old house. Whose is it, and where is it?"
"I shall not tell you. You will receive nothing but kindness while you behave seemingly, if not, means will be used to check you."
"I am a prisoner, then?"
"Yes, you are a prisoner, if you are pleased to call it so."
"But am I to have no liberty? Am I not to leave this room? I cannot live penned up here."
