"Mrs. Shannon, to be honest, the reason I answered the phone without permission was to ask for your help."
Sophie Sullivan spoke while paying attention to the noise in the bath chamber, making sure the sound of water was still ongoing before continuing, "Thomas Shannon has imprisoned me..."
Mrs. Shannon found it amusing, "Miss Sullivan, do you mean you want me to help you get out?"
"Yes, I know it's very rude to ask so abruptly, but this is my only option right now. Mrs. Shannon, I think you wouldn't want Thomas Shannon to force women into submission, right?"
There was clearly an element of anger in Sophie Sullivan's words.
Mrs. Shannon heard it but only smiled gently, "Miss Sullivan does not like Lincoln."
A declarative sentence, without any question.
"Yes, I don't like him, so can Mrs. Shannon help me with this favor?"
What more could Mrs. Shannon say? A girl with a fiance, imprisoned by Thomas Shannon, it's only natural she doesn't like him.
