The ghostly figure that Mary has seen haunting her new house doesn't appear to be vengeful, or angry. In fact it doesn't appear to be anything but sad, so Mary isn't too concerned if it stays, she just goes about her life day by day all the while the ghost just sits there, waiting, ... patiently. What Mary doesn't know is, this isn't the lost soul of some long forgotten Victorian, in fact it's not the ghost of someone who is not dead at all.
