Vosotros conjugation used for 2nd person singular in novel

Hello

I am reading "Las tinieblas y el alba" (originally "The Evening and The Morning") by Ken Follett. Throughout the book, in the dialogue, characters use the vosotros conjugation of verbs and the "os" object pronoun when they are addressing a single person. (I Have marked this in yellow in the attached image.) There are also occasions when "vos" is used but the conjugation is still vosotros. (I've marked and example of this in blue in the image). This is consistent throughout the book. I can't find any explanation for this online. Can anyone explain this?
Thank you.Click image for larger version
