Bab 192: I don't want to know it

Charity's lips were completely left open at this point and she stared at Absalom with mortification. Was it that he did not recognize her? Miss? Or was he running away because of what she told him yesterday? She wanted to take revenge, call out his name and make sure everyone knew that he knew her and had been chasing her relentlessly for the past few weeks but she didn't, he must have run away she thought. She was hurt but she couldn't blame him, if she could run away from herself she would have done that a long time ago.
