Take an insight at this, Annabel came out of the house, looked about her and noticed the cool, calm, serenity of the walkway. She took a deep breath and said, 'What a peaceful world this is.' She inhaled deeply again and started walking down the cobbled stone case and down the walkway. Obi at the other end of the walkway, standing like a Mable statute stood arms akimbo, watching her taking those dainty steps of hers as she took one step after the other towards his direction. From the above you can see the thoughts and actions of the characters is known by the disclosure of their thoughts and action.
