Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall

CHAPTER XIV
57/74

"She dropped dead at the foot of the hill.
Yonder she lies.

I came up the Lathkil by the long road, and I hoped that I might reach you in time to give warning.

When the guard left Haddon I realized the evil that would come upon you by reason of my base betrayal." Here she broke down and for a moment could not proceed in the narrative.
She soon recovered and continued: "Then I mounted Dolcy, and tried to reach here by way of the long road.

Poor Dolcy seemed to understand my trouble and my despair, and she brought me with all the speed that a horse could make; but the road was too long and too rough; and she failed, and I failed.

Would that I could have died in her place.
