    Summary

    ‘I was endeavouring to help you, Miss Hale!’ his voice rose further with his temper, and Margaret hoped Dixon would soon interrupt. ‘You looked faint, I did not wish you to fall.’ He exhaled deeply, and ran a hand through his hair. ‘I see now it would have caused me far less consternation to have permitted you to bleed on my cobbles, than to act as a gentleman.’
    ‘You are no gentleman, Mr Thornton.’
    *****
    Margaret Hale and her family remove to Milton from rural Hampshire. Her father strikes up a friendship with local mill owner John Thornton, but all the reports of him which reach Margaret speak of a cruel, tyrannical man. Who is Mr Thornton, really?
