Elizabeth Selwyn • Mrs. Newless
- Nan Barlow: [upon hearing religious-type singing in her room, apparently coming from under the floor] Mrs. Newless! Mrs. Newless!
- Elizabeth Selwyn / Mrs. Newless: Yes, Miss Barlow?
- Nan Barlow: I... I heard some strange noises in my room.
- Elizabeth Selwyn / Mrs. Newless: Oh, possibly the water pipes. This is a very old inn.
- Nan Barlow: No, it seems to be coming from the cellar underneath.
- Elizabeth Selwyn / Mrs. Newless: I hardly think so, Miss Barlow. The cellars do not extend beneath your room.
- Nan Barlow: But then why is there a trap door in the floor?
- Elizabeth Selwyn / Mrs. Newless: The ground was filled in many years ago to strengthen the foundations of the building.
- Nan Barlow: But I'm sure I...
- Elizabeth Selwyn / Mrs. Newless: Well, if you insist, I will come and see.
- Elizabeth Selwyn / Mrs. Newless: [they both go into Nan's room, where it is now completely silent] I don't hear anything.
- Nan Barlow: Well, just a few minutes ago... Never mind. I'm sorry.
- Elizabeth Selwyn / Mrs. Newless: You're welcome. But you can see for yourself there is no ring in the trap door because there is no reason to lift it. There is *nothing* underneath but earth.
