When a check confirmed his story, he was released and Peter ordered the party at his place to leave, unaware that Matilda was actually locked up in a shed round the back. Rawlings went in to see her but Matilda managed to get past him and escape.After she was found, Peter announced that they had arrested Rawlings and that his daughter, whose picture had been in the shed, had died fifteen years previous when she was Matilda’s age and Rawlings had blamed himself, seeing Matilda as a replacement.
