Mary says that her stepfather also believed something must have happened to Hosmer. Who could profit by bringing her to the church door and abandoning her there, and why has not even one letter arrived? The more she thinks about those questions, the less she understands, until she can no longer sleep at night.

"Yes; and he seemed to think, with me, that something had happened, and that I should hear of Hosmer again.「ええ。父も私と同じように、何かが起きたのだろう、そのうちまたホズマーから便りがあるだろうと思っているようでした。
As he said, what interest could anyone have in bringing me to the doors of the church, and then leaving me?父の言うとおり、教会の戸口まで私を連れてきて、そこで置き去りにすることに、いったい誰がどんな得をするのでしょう。
Now, if he had borrowed my money, or if he had married me and got my money settled on him, there might be some reason, but Hosmer was very independent about money and never would look at a shilling of mine.もし私のお金を借りていたり、私と結婚して私のお金を自分のものにしていたりするなら、何か理由もあるでしょう。でもホズマーは、お金のことではたいへん自立した方で、私の一シリングにさえ目を向けようとはしませんでした。
And yet, what could have happened?それなのに、いったい何があったのでしょう。
And why could he not write?なぜ手紙も書けないのでしょう。
Oh, it drives me half-mad to think of it, and I can't sleep a wink at night."ああ、考えていると気が変になりそうで、夜も一睡もできないんです」
She pulled a little handkerchief out of her muff and began to sob heavily into it.彼女はマフから小さなハンカチを取り出し、顔を埋めて激しくすすり泣き始めた。
