Arabelle can't even talk to the other prisoners inside the dungeon because of their state. She can't help but feel bad for them. They are all intelligent women for sure that's why they ended up there. Being different during this time is not a good thing. People will report you as a witch for knowing a lot of things. Although in her case, she is a witch even if she's not too confident about it. How can she escape from getting burned at stake using magic?
She suddenly felt a shiver down her spine as if there's a ghost inside. It's not impossible to happen since the dungeon is a little dark. Maybe that's the reason why those women looked as if in shock. Seeing a ghostly figure can be scary especially in that kind of place. How can she escape if she's locked up? She tries to summon her courage to avoid being like them. The only reason she's there now is to find Ralph and bring him home.
