For my part I say that she is guilty, and has hidden the man away in some secret place. Otherwise why did she dash the light from the soldier's hand?" "Mayhap to hide herself lest she should be attacked," answered another, "though how she came in the tower, I cannot guess." "I lived there," said Miriam. "It was bricked up until yesterday and safe from robbers."
