41/46 This masquerade could go on no longer. It was not honourable either to her father or to herself. I told you you did not know who I was, who my people were. My story about them, my name, everything about me is false, every word I have uttered is a lie, a fraud, a cheat! I would not tell you now, but you trusted me and are willing to entrust your son's future, your family honour in my keeping, and I can't keep back the truth from you. Mr.Ryder, I am the daughter of the man you hate. |
