Answer 2

In Dear departed we have this

They thought Able(Victoria grand father) was dead. Able lives with his younger daughter Amelia.Amelia and his sister Elizabeth doesn't have care for their father. They were waiting to seperate their share in their Father's affairs.As they thought her father was dead. Amelia is with his father. She wanted to bring her father's bureau before her sister come.With the help of her husband She wanted to bring the bureau down.Victoria saw that her dad was in off coat. And asked her father why he was in coat off. His father said that we are going to bring your grand father's bureau.Victoria was precocious (mentally matured) asked whether they were going to pinch(steal)it.Though Victoria was 10 she can easily understand everything.So,to know what happened she asked about that bureau

Hope it helps
