Chapter XIII
Dolores was coming down to breakfast the next morning when Colonel Mohun’s door opened. He exclaimed, ‘My little Dolly, good morning!’ stooped down and kissed her. Then, standing still a moment, and holding her hand, he said-- ‘Dolly, it was not you I saw at Darminster station?’ It was a terrible shock. Some one, no doubt, was trying to set him against her.
