'No, please tell me about them, Mrs Bunch,' said Stephen. 'Well,' she began, 'I don't remember much about the little girl. Mr Abney brought her back from his walk one day and told Mrs Ellis to take care of her. The poor child had no family. She lived with us for about three weeks and then one morning she got up while everyone was still asleep and left the house. I've never seen her again. Mr Abney looked everywhere but she never came back. She was a very silent child but she helped me a lot and I loved her very much.'
