Dialogue
[edit]- Miss Giddens: The children... have they had a governess before?
- The Uncle: Yes, unfortunately. Not that there was anything wrong with Miss Jessel. She was an excellent governess and a most respectable woman. The children quite liked her especially little Flora. Oh, which reminds me: Be careful not to broach that subject to Flora unless she broaches it to you first which I doubt will happen. She was so fond of Miss Jessel and it did come as an appalling shock.
- Miss Giddens: I'm not certain that I understand you, sir.
- The Uncle: She died.
