“That Mr. Barron seduced her under a promise of marriage?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And it was the fact that that promise had not been kept which led directly, in the first instance, to the ruin of this young girl?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And Mr. Barron having accomplished her ruin, fled from the house of his parents to London, to escape his duty?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And this girl, dismissed from her situation, disgraced in the eyes of her friends, followed in her despair to this huge city, in the slender hope of finding the man who had ruined her?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Yet for many years she was unable to find him?”
“Yes, sir.”
