Upon witnessing the situation, Lysander and Josiah felt a surge of indignation.

He suggested this as a distraction as he was concerned that the encounter with the old lady might have dampened her spirits. 

Lysander nodded. “Let’s check it out. We’re only here for two days. We should make the most of it to understand the town better.”
