Subsequently, the Boynes settle in and go about their activities as usual and enjoy the pleasures within the house, while disregarding the possibility of sharing accommodation with a ghost. As time goes by, Mary notices a change in her husband’s attitude, as he becomes more withdrawn and appears to be troubled by something. Despite the apparent change, she chooses to brush off the observation and so remains in her self-inflicted state of obliviousness.
