Some way, somehow, that poor creature that rushed in here has been given Whittington's voice. Listens the animals again. Yes, there part of this thing too. Let's mix up. A voice is a man. I wish we could leave here right now. We can't go now, mother, not until we learn what's behind all this, what's happening up there, and as the carp is being beaten. Come on, mother, we're going to that room. What are you going to do? I want to talk to that boy quietly, Morga. We must get down the hall without Whittington hearing it. What is it doing, you inquire? The room is right down here? Are you green there? Not yet? Not until Whittington leaves. I want to talk to the boy alone. I'd better wait a little Moore. Well, if Whittington wants to know where you are, can tell him that you've gone out to the carp. Very well, mother, please please don't be live. The answer to this mystery will be found. Very quickly by the shadow that will teach you not to go running around the house. Now you stay here and be quiet. Understand He'll go blay me in the future. Good night, my dear cousin, Harbor.

I'm here to help you get out, but first I must learn something from you. You don't help me, yes, yes, but tell me why are you here? Why has your cousin kept you locked in this room? He's jealous of me. He always had me. How did he get you into this house? I came to visit, just. Like that couple I saw in the dining room to night, but. I never got out. They never will either. Why do you say that he will use them just as he used me? But his devil is work. Why was your cousin jealous of you? My voice? Yes? What about your voice? I used to have the voice that Arthur has.
