Scene: The Library at Misselthwaite Manor

Archie, they're asking if they can send the girl here It seems they found an old will naming you as Mary's guardian This is no house for a child I couldn't agree more Well, we shall simply have to find an appropriate school and they can- No! The girl is Lily's niece, she will come here Have Mrs. Medlock order the child some clothes I won't have her dressed in black wandering about like a lost soul That would make the house even sadder than it is
