 Here we might have a chance to escape, and yet that little girl downstairs needs help. Why does life have to be like this? I told Pa. He ain't sure you're telling the truth. He wants y'all to come downstairs. We're telling the truth, all right. I hope Pa gets convinced. If your friend can really help Cindy, we'll all be mighty beholden to you. But y'all gotta convince Pa first.
