- Why? You've said you find her sympathetic. Than why wouldn't this marriage work?
- Oh my God! Father! I will not merry her? Anyway, I will not marry anyone!
- But you will. And with the one I say.
His father saw the volcano which just wanted to erupt, and he stopped the dance and led her to the library.
- My little girl. I'm tired of your behaviour. Every girl in your age, is married, and has children – started calm, tan he became more inpatient - There is only a few young gentleman you haven't hurt or refused.
- So it was a trap?
- To tell the truth, yes, it was. I knew what you would do if you knew who she was. We have witnessed it many times.
- And how do you want it to continue? I will meet with my intended in the church? And who an earth managed to find, if I'm allowed to know? A clerk, a soldier, a businessman?
- Far more better! An only son of a lord! He's a little strange, they say, but in my opinion…
- I don't care about your opinion. He can be the Prince of Wales, I WILL NOT BE HIS WIFE!
Mr. Dunn lost his patience.
YOU WILL! And I will not argue with you about it!
He stormed out of the room, and shut the door.
Charlotte waited till he disappeared, than threw herself in the couch, and sobbed. She didn't notice Emily to come in. She embraced her.
-Oh Emily! I… couldn't imagine that! To…a totally stranger… his only daughter…
Emily couldn't say a word for a time, than suddenly, she got an idea. She held her girlfriend's face, and said:
-I think I know a solution…
-It was Emily's idea to frighten my parents. I wanted to disappear for a little. Emily's
brother lives in Atlanta, far enough. In our plan my parents would knew it only after my arrive. I didn't manage to find somebody to escort me. That's why I put on the costume of the charity performance. The wig was perfected by Emily, and I didn't have to cut my hair off.
-So you run away from your parents? - asked Veronica
- Only from their decision. I had no choice, but I regretted it many times, I miss them…- tiers dwelled up in her eyes
- You friend ... Richard. Am I right? - She nodded yes- How do you know him?
- Emily escorted me to the station. There we met him first. He's Emily's old friend
From her childhood. She said I'm his nephew, Charles Dawson, than asked him to take care of me. After when I brought her to account for it, she said, she would rely her life on him, and she was right. On the journey I had an occasion to know him. Then… there was a storm, we were on the deck…and a lightning. There was an electrician frying, we both fall in the sea. He saved me from a piece of iron, and he got it in his leg. After…after ..I don't remember. I got up here, without my clothes.
Marguerete broke the silence:
- Than you have to get them on before the men come.
-Men?
- You will see them in time.
- It will not ... –Interrupted Veronica- there's a lot of situation here…
- They've arrived. - said Marguerete as she heard the elevator
Charlotte made a fearful face and pleaded:
- Please, don't reveal me!
