"Mrs. Costello, please head upstairs," the maid beside Sophie said, stepping forward to guide her.

Sophie glanced at the maid. "If I stay cooped up in the house every day, I'm going to go stir-crazy. How about I step out into the garden for some fresh air? That's not asking too much, is it?"

"Not too much, I suppose," the maid hesitated. Mr. Odie hadn't given them permission to let Mrs. Costello go outside.
