Elizabeth, was about to take a step to head on her own way. The outdoor gardens of the Castle place or the maze field was considered a much better option for her to explore by this time.
The moment she decided to excuse herself from that awkward atmosphere, Agatha's words flew in her direction in the form of a reprimand.
"Elizabeth. Are you also going to walk away from giving me your answer? I consider that very rude. Well cultured girls do not behave in that manner," she said, scoldingly.
"Agatha, I don't have the time nor energy for this. You have only just arrived from a couple hours long journey. Why not push your questions to a much later time and have us go in to rest for sometime instead?" Aldrich insisted in a tone that reflected how he was becoming irritated by all that was happening.
"No, my love. I want to know why she is in this place. Is there… " Agatha paused and veered her searching eyes towards Elizabeth first and back to Aldrich.
