"You may intend to use me as a witness."
"It is possible."
"Then I cannot go with you. I will never turn against that man."
"Are you under any obligations to him?"
"He never abused me. He was fond of me—treated me with great kindness, although he is a very desperate man. No, you must be satisfied with what service I have done you; I can never turn witness against him. I trust to your generosity to save me this trial."
"I will promise not to call upon you as a witness."
"I had long determined to flee away. I was not satisfied with my life with that man, although I cannot complain of his treatment. He gave me plenty of money, bought me expensive clothing, gave me jewels. He claims I am his niece; I do not believe it is a true claim."
"You say he gave you jewels?"
"Yes."
"Then he must have money."
