[Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall by Charles Major]@TWC D-Link bookDorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall CHAPTER VII 45/75
You have for the first time in your life been unkind to me and suspicious.
Father, do you realize that you insult your daughter when you accuse her of having been in this secluded place with a man? You would punish another for speaking so against my fair name." "But, Dorothy," Sir George replied, feeling as if he were in the wrong, "Ben Shaw said that he saw you here with a man, and I saw a man pass toward Bakewell.
Who was he? I command you to tell me his name." Dorothy knew that her father must have seen a man near the gate, but who he was she could not imagine.
John surely was beyond the wall and well out of sight on his way to Rowsley before her father reached the crest of Bowling Green Hill.
But it was evident that Shaw had seen John.
