The maid--what part does she play?
gpt
She is under some strange spell the man has cast over her, I think, for she has been led to believe the wildest sort of a yarn--a tale that her father, long missing, is somewhere about these mountains.

Her father--missing?
gpt
The girl loved him as a comrade as well as a father. The two were alone and very much together. He was a captain, and some fifteen years ago disappeared. It was thought that he sailed for some port along the western coast, but he never came back. In time the report came that he was dead, though this was never proven.

But the maid did not believe the rumor?

No--she did not believe.
