"And thank you so much for coming!" She hugs Cosette quickly. "You really are here. I didn't tell James about it at all. Was that naughty? Well, I don't see why he should mind."
She can see why he should mind, actually, if she tries, but it's not something Mary chooses to dwell on, so she flurries herself and Cosette out through the door. It opens almost immediately onto a staircase, with very little landing. "Be careful," she whispers to Cosette. "The steps aren't bad but it's a little dark to see your footing. You can keep your hand on the wall here--just like that--and if we go down this way--I'll lead--we'll come out just--here!"
It's a room, a smallish chamber with a curtained bed and a few chests. Mary leads the way through it into another larger bedroom: this one with a proper good window. It looks out down a short steep slope, with walled grounds below, and fields and mountains beyond that.
