Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall

CHAPTER VI
41/44

Now I want not another word from you.

Damme! I say, not another word.

If I ever ordered you to leave Haddon Hall, I didn't know what I was doing," cried Sir George, heartily.
"But you may again not know," said I.
"Now, Malcolm, don't be a greater fool than I was.

If I say I did not order you to leave Haddon Hall, can't you take me at my word?
My age and my love for you should induce you to let me ease my conscience, if I can.
If the same illusion should ever come over you again--that is, if you should ever again imagine that I am ordering you to leave Haddon Hall--well, just tell me to go to the devil.

I have been punished enough already, man.
