She Can't Be Gone!
|The Castle|
Briceus did not let even as much as a single muscle flip on his face whilst he listened with total attention to the tale of the girl before him.
In his mind, all she had been saying was a timid cock-and-bull story because to him, a lot of her sentences were pretty jumbled up.
Still, he gave her the audience.
Oletha continued with her narration as vivid as she could remember everything and had by now gotten to the part where she had insisted on visiting her mother while Elizabeth held her place.
Briceus knew he was getting to the limit of his patience and once reached, he would not be able to keep on listening to this girl's claims about his maiden having gone missing.
Oletha was about to speak again when he raised his hand to silence her.
