Runaway ran away
gone from a man claimed the girl
a man named the girl
got the girl
stored up in his room
•
ran away
runaway
gone
Dinah gone
•
19 years
of age
about five foot three inches
brown hair a cask-shaped mark over her left eye
•
no one speaks no speech
just hatching
•
thought he knew her well
when she was in there with him
not a word was spoken
who to trust now?
thought he knew
•
presents a gap
between her upper foreteeth when she smiles
