Well, at least the truth behind the mysterious woman and Quint is revealed to me. Once again seeking answers from Mrs. Grose after her encounter, the governess learned about the story behind Quint and Miss Jessel, the woman who appeared before her. Miss Jessel was a fair lady, but though Quint was a friend of the mansion's inhabitants, he took advantage of that and, apparently, did whatever he wanted with everyone in the mansion, including Miss Jessel. That gave some leeway to my assumption of the true "innocence" behind the kids, but now I questioned to what extent Flora and Miles rely on or even trust them to keep themselves entertained. The answer to that came only soon afterwards -yet again- when the governess saw Quint for the third time. It was, of all times for this time at night, and once Quint had left, the governess saw that Flora was not asleep in her bed. She found Flora at the window by her bed "looking for someone outside," and with the suspicion that arose from finding Flora out of bed, the governess sought to find the identity of another person who was outside on the lawn. Upon reaching the window of a room in the mansion's tower, she found Miles looking at something -or someone- that was above her position on the tower. I now find myself thinking about how deeply those kids have thrown themselves in the chasm of unknown horror of the future and if any attempt that the governess may make would be anything close to enough to save them.
