I want to hear about you." Mary put down her candle on the table near the bed and sat down on the cushioned stool.

She did not want to go away at all.

She wanted to stay in the mysterious hidden-away room and talk to the mysterious boy.
"What do you want me to tell you ?" she said.
He wanted to know how long she had been at Misselthwaite; he wanted to know which corridor her room was on; he wanted to know what she had been doing; if she disliked the moor as he disliked it; where she had lived before she came to Yorkshire.

She answered all these questions and many more and he lay back on his pillow and listened.

He made her tell him a great deal about India and about her voyage across the ocean.
