Miss
Summerson
,
"
he
said
,
"
it
may
be
so
;
and
I
freely
admit
that
the
young
lady
who
has
taken
Mr
.
C
.
’
s
name
upon
herself
in
so
ill
-
advised
a
manner
—
you
will
I
am
sure
not
quarrel
with
me
for
throwing
out
that
remark
again
,
as
a
duty
I
owe
to
Mr
.
C
.
’
s
connexions
—
is
a
highly
genteel
young
lady
.
Business
has
prevented
me
from
mixing
much
with
general
society
in
any
but
a
professional
character
;
still
I
trust
I
am
competent
to
perceive
that
she
is
a
highly
genteel
young
lady
.
As
to
beauty
,
I
am
not
a
judge
of
that
myself
,
and
I
never
did
give
much
attention
to
it
from
a
boy
,
but
I
dare
say
the
young
lady
is
equally
eligible
in
that
point
of
view
.
She
is
considered
so
(
I
have
heard
)
among
the
clerks
in
the
Inn
,
and
it
is
a
point
more
in
their
way
than
in
mine
.
In
reference
to
Mr
.
C
.
’
s
pursuit
of
his
interests
—
"
"
Oh
!
His
interests
,
Mr
.
Vholes
!
"
"
Pardon
me
,
"
returned
Mr
.
Vholes
,
going
on
in
exactly
the
same
inward
and
dispassionate
manner
.
"
Mr
.
C
.
takes
certain
interests
under
certain
wills
disputed
in
the
suit
.
It
is
a
term
we
use
.
In
reference
to
Mr
.
C
,
’
s
pursuit
of
his
interests
,
I
mentioned
to
you
,
Miss
Summerson
,
the
first
time
I
had
the
pleasure
of
seeing
you
,
in
my
desire
that
everything
should
be
openly
carried
on
—
I
used
those
words
,
for
I
happened
afterwards
to
note
them
in
my
diary
,
which
is
producible
at
any
time
—
I
mentioned
to
you
that
Mr
.
C
.
had
laid
down
the
principle
of
watching
his
own
interests
,
and
that
when
a
client
of
mine
laid
down
a
principle
which
was
not
of
an
immoral
(
that
is
to
say
,
unlawful
)
nature
,
it
devolved
upon
me
to
carry
it
out
.
I
HAVE
carried
it
out
;
I
do
carry
it
out
.
But
I
will
not
smooth
things
over
to
any
connexion
of
Mr
.
C
.
’
s
on
any
account
.
As
open
as
I
was
to
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
I
am
to
you
.
I
regard
it
in
the
light
of
a
professional
duty
to
be
so
,
though
it
can
be
charged
to
no
one
.
I
openly
say
,
unpalatable
as
it
may
be
,
that
I
consider
Mr
.
C
.
’
s
affairs
in
a
very
bad
way
,
that
I
consider
Mr
.
C
.
himself
in
a
very
bad
way
,
and
that
I
regard
this
as
an
exceedingly
ill
-
advised
marriage
.
Am
I
here
,
sir
?
Yes
,
I
thank
you
;
I
am
here
,
Mr
.
C
.
,
and
enjoying
the
pleasure
of
some
agreeable
conversation
with
Miss
Summerson
,
for
which
I
have
to
thank
you
very
much
,
sir
!
"
He
broke
off
thus
in
answer
to
Richard
,
who
addressed
him
as
he
came
into
the
room
.
By
this
time
I
too
well
understood
Mr
.
Vholes
’
s
scrupulous
way
of
saving
himself
and
his
respectability
not
to
feel
that
our
worst
fears
did
but
keep
pace
with
his
client
’
s
progress
.
We
sat
down
to
dinner
,
and
I
had
an
opportunity
of
observing
Richard
,
anxiously
.
I
was
not
disturbed
by
Mr
.
Vholes
(
who
took
off
his
gloves
to
dine
)
,
though
he
sat
opposite
to
me
at
the
small
table
,
for
I
doubt
if
,
looking
up
at
all
,
he
once
removed
his
eyes
from
his
host
’
s
face
.
I
found
Richard
thin
and
languid
,
slovenly
in
his
dress
,
abstracted
in
his
manner
,
forcing
his
spirits
now
and
then
,
and
at
other
intervals
relapsing
into
a
dull
thoughtfulness
.
About
his
large
bright
eyes
that
used
to
be
so
merry
there
was
a
wanness
and
a
restlessness
that
changed
them
altogether
.
I
cannot
use
the
expression
that
he
looked
old
.
There
is
a
ruin
of
youth
which
is
not
like
age
,
and
into
such
a
ruin
Richard
’
s
youth
and
youthful
beauty
had
all
fallen
away
.
He
ate
little
and
seemed
indifferent
what
it
was
,
showed
himself
to
be
much
more
impatient
than
he
used
to
be
,
and
was
quick
even
with
Ada
.
I
thought
at
first
that
his
old
light
-
hearted
manner
was
all
gone
,
but
it
shone
out
of
him
sometimes
as
I
had
occasionally
known
little
momentary
glimpses
of
my
own
old
face
to
look
out
upon
me
from
the
glass
.
His
laugh
had
not
quite
left
him
either
,
but
it
was
like
the
echo
of
a
joyful
sound
,
and
that
is
always
sorrowful
.
Yet
he
was
as
glad
as
ever
,
in
his
old
affectionate
way
,
to
have
me
there
,
and
we
talked
of
the
old
times
pleasantly
.
These
did
not
appear
to
be
interesting
to
Mr
.
Vholes
,
though
he
occasionally
made
a
gasp
which
I
believe
was
his
smile
.
He
rose
shortly
after
dinner
and
said
that
with
the
permission
of
the
ladies
he
would
retire
to
his
office
.
"
Always
devoted
to
business
,
Vholes
!
"
cried
Richard
.
"
Yes
,
Mr
.
C
.
,
"
he
returned
,
"
the
interests
of
clients
are
never
to
be
neglected
,
sir
.
They
are
paramount
in
the
thoughts
of
a
professional
man
like
myself
,
who
wishes
to
preserve
a
good
name
among
his
fellow
-
practitioners
and
society
at
large
.
My
denying
myself
the
pleasure
of
the
present
agreeable
conversation
may
not
be
wholly
irrespective
of
your
own
interests
,
Mr
.
C
.
"
Richard
expressed
himself
quite
sure
of
that
and
lighted
Mr
.
Vholes
out
.
On
his
return
he
told
us
,
more
than
once
,
that
Vholes
was
a
good
fellow
,
a
safe
fellow
,
a
man
who
did
what
he
pretended
to
do
,
a
very
good
fellow
indeed
!
He
was
so
defiant
about
it
that
it
struck
me
he
had
begun
to
doubt
Mr
.
Vholes
.
Then
he
threw
himself
on
the
sofa
,
tired
out
;
and
Ada
and
I
put
things
to
rights
,
for
they
had
no
other
servant
than
the
woman
who
attended
to
the
chambers
.
My
dear
girl
had
a
cottage
piano
there
and
quietly
sat
down
to
sing
some
of
Richard
’
s
favourites
,
the
lamp
being
first
removed
into
the
next
room
,
as
he
complained
of
its
hurting
his
eyes
.
I
sat
between
them
,
at
my
dear
girl
’
s
side
,
and
felt
very
melancholy
listening
to
her
sweet
voice
.
I
think
Richard
did
too
;
I
think
he
darkened
the
room
for
that
reason
.
She
had
been
singing
some
time
,
rising
between
whiles
to
bend
over
him
and
speak
to
him
,
when
Mr
.
Woodcourt
came
in
.
Then
he
sat
down
by
Richard
and
half
playfully
,
half
earnestly
,
quite
naturally
and
easily
,
found
out
how
he
felt
and
where
he
had
been
all
day
.
Presently
he
proposed
to
accompany
him
in
a
short
walk
on
one
of
the
bridges
,
as
it
was
a
moonlight
airy
night
;
and
Richard
readily
consenting
,
they
went
out
together
.
They
left
my
dear
girl
still
sitting
at
the
piano
and
me
still
sitting
beside
her
.
When
they
were
gone
out
,
I
drew
my
arm
round
her
waist
.
She
put
her
left
hand
in
mine
(
I
was
sitting
on
that
side
)
,
but
kept
her
right
upon
the
keys
,
going
over
and
over
them
without
striking
any
note
.
"
Esther
,
my
dearest
,
"
she
said
,
breaking
silence
,
"
Richard
is
never
so
well
and
I
am
never
so
easy
about
him
as
when
he
is
with
Allan
Woodcourt
.
We
have
to
thank
you
for
that
.
"
I
pointed
out
to
my
darling
how
this
could
scarcely
be
,
because
Mr
.
Woodcourt
had
come
to
her
cousin
John
’
s
house
and
had
known
us
all
there
,
and
because
he
had
always
liked
Richard
,
and
Richard
had
always
liked
him
,
and
—
and
so
forth
.
"
All
true
,
"
said
Ada
,
"
but
that
he
is
such
a
devoted
friend
to
us
we
owe
to
you
.
"
I
thought
it
best
to
let
my
dear
girl
have
her
way
and
to
say
no
more
about
it
.
So
I
said
as
much
.
I
said
it
lightly
,
because
I
felt
her
trembling
.
"
Esther
,
my
dearest
,
I
want
to
be
a
good
wife
,
a
very
,
very
good
wife
indeed
.
You
shall
teach
me
.
"
I
teach
!
I
said
no
more
,
for
I
noticed
the
hand
that
was
fluttering
over
the
keys
,
and
I
knew
that
it
was
not
I
who
ought
to
speak
,
that
it
was
she
who
had
something
to
say
to
me
.
"
When
I
married
Richard
I
was
not
insensible
to
what
was
before
him
.
I
had
been
perfectly
happy
for
a
long
time
with
you
,
and
I
had
never
known
any
trouble
or
anxiety
,
so
loved
and
cared
for
,
but
I
understood
the
danger
he
was
in
,
dear
Esther
.
"
"
I
know
,
I
know
,
my
darling
.
"
"
When
we
were
married
I
had
some
little
hope
that
I
might
be
able
to
convince
him
of
his
mistake
,
that
he
might
come
to
regard
it
in
a
new
way
as
my
husband
and
not
pursue
it
all
the
more
desperately
for
my
sake
—
as
he
does
.
But
if
I
had
not
had
that
hope
,
I
would
have
married
him
just
the
same
,
Esther
.
Just
the
same
!
"
In
the
momentary
firmness
of
the
hand
that
was
never
still
—
a
firmness
inspired
by
the
utterance
of
these
last
words
,
and
dying
away
with
them
—
I
saw
the
confirmation
of
her
earnest
tones
.
"
You
are
not
to
think
,
my
dearest
Esther
,
that
I
fail
to
see
what
you
see
and
fear
what
you
fear
.
No
one
can
understand
him
better
than
I
do
.
The
greatest
wisdom
that
ever
lived
in
the
world
could
scarcely
know
Richard
better
than
my
love
does
.
"
She
spoke
so
modestly
and
softly
and
her
trembling
hand
expressed
such
agitation
as
it
moved
to
and
fro
upon
the
silent
notes
!
My
dear
,
dear
girl
!
"
I
see
him
at
his
worst
every
day
.
I
watch
him
in
his
sleep
.
I
know
every
change
of
his
face
.
But
when
I
married
Richard
I
was
quite
determined
,
Esther
,
if
heaven
would
help
me
,
never
to
show
him
that
I
grieved
for
what
he
did
and
so
to
make
him
more
unhappy
.
I
want
him
,
when
he
comes
home
,
to
find
no
trouble
in
my
face
.
I
want
him
,
when
he
looks
at
me
,
to
see
what
he
loved
in
me
.
I
married
him
to
do
this
,
and
this
supports
me
.
"
I
felt
her
trembling
more
.
I
waited
for
what
was
yet
to
come
,
and
I
now
thought
I
began
to
know
what
it
was
.
"
And
something
else
supports
me
,
Esther
.
"
She
stopped
a
minute
.
Stopped
speaking
only
;
her
hand
was
still
in
motion
.
"
I
look
forward
a
little
while
,
and
I
don
’
t
know
what
great
aid
may
come
to
me
.
When
Richard
turns
his
eyes
upon
me
then
,
there
may
be
something
lying
on
my
breast
more
eloquent
than
I
have
been
,
with
greater
power
than
mine
to
show
him
his
true
course
and
win
him
back
.
"
Her
hand
stopped
now
.
She
clasped
me
in
her
arms
,
and
I
clasped
her
in
mine
.
"
If
that
little
creature
should
fail
too
,
Esther
,
I
still
look
forward
.
I
look
forward
a
long
while
,
through
years
and
years
,
and
think
that
then
,
when
I
am
growing
old
,
or
when
I
am
dead
perhaps
,
a
beautiful
woman
,
his
daughter
,
happily
married
,
may
be
proud
of
him
and
a
blessing
to
him
Or
that
a
generous
brave
man
,
as
handsome
as
he
used
to
be
,
as
hopeful
,
and
far
more
happy
,
may
walk
in
the
sunshine
with
him
,
honouring
his
grey
head
and
saying
to
himself
,
’
I
thank
God
this
is
my
father
!
Ruined
by
a
fatal
inheritance
,
and
restored
through
me
!
’
"
Oh
,
my
sweet
girl
,
what
a
heart
was
that
which
beat
so
fast
against
me
!
"
These
hopes
uphold
me
,
my
dear
Esther
,
and
I
know
they
will
.
Though
sometimes
even
they
depart
from
me
before
a
dread
that
arises
when
I
look
at
Richard
.
"
I
tried
to
cheer
my
darling
,
and
asked
her
what
it
was
.
Sobbing
and
weeping
,
she
replied
,
"
That
he
may
not
live
to
see
his
child
.
"
The
days
when
I
frequented
that
miserable
corner
which
my
dear
girl
brightened
can
never
fade
in
my
remembrance
.
I
never
see
it
,
and
I
never
wish
to
see
it
now
;
I
have
been
there
only
once
since
,
but
in
my
memory
there
is
a
mournful
glory
shining
on
the
place
which
will
shine
for
ever
.
Not
a
day
passed
without
my
going
there
,
of
course
.
At
first
I
found
Mr
.
Skimpole
there
,
on
two
or
three
occasions
,
idly
playing
the
piano
and
talking
in
his
usual
vivacious
strain
.
Now
,
besides
my
very
much
mistrusting
the
probability
of
his
being
there
without
making
Richard
poorer
,
I
felt
as
if
there
were
something
in
his
careless
gaiety
too
inconsistent
with
what
I
knew
of
the
depths
of
Ada
’
s
life
.
I
clearly
perceived
,
too
,
that
Ada
shared
my
feelings
.
I
therefore
resolved
,
after
much
thinking
of
it
,
to
make
a
private
visit
to
Mr
.
Skimpole
and
try
delicately
to
explain
myself
.
My
dear
girl
was
the
great
consideration
that
made
me
bold
.
I
set
off
one
morning
,
accompanied
by
Charley
,
for
Somers
Town
.
As
I
approached
the
house
,
I
was
strongly
inclined
to
turn
back
,
for
I
felt
what
a
desperate
attempt
it
was
to
make
an
impression
on
Mr
.
Skimpole
and
how
extremely
likely
it
was
that
he
would
signally
defeat
me
.
However
,
I
thought
that
being
there
,
I
would
go
through
with
it
.
I
knocked
with
a
trembling
hand
at
Mr
.
Skimpole
’
s
door
—
literally
with
a
hand
,
for
the
knocker
was
gone
—
and
after
a
long
parley
gained
admission
from
an
Irishwoman
,
who
was
in
the
area
when
I
knocked
,
breaking
up
the
lid
of
a
water
-
butt
with
a
poker
to
light
the
fire
with
.
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
lying
on
the
sofa
in
his
room
,
playing
the
flute
a
little
,
was
enchanted
to
see
me
.
Now
,
who
should
receive
me
,
he
asked
.
Who
would
I
prefer
for
mistress
of
the
ceremonies
?
Would
I
have
his
Comedy
daughter
,
his
Beauty
daughter
,
or
his
Sentiment
daughter
?
Or
would
I
have
all
the
daughters
at
once
in
a
perfect
nosegay
?
I
replied
,
half
defeated
already
,
that
I
wished
to
speak
to
himself
only
if
he
would
give
me
leave
.
"
My
dear
Miss
Summerson
,
most
joyfully
!
Of
course
,
"
he
said
,
bringing
his
chair
nearer
mine
and
breaking
into
his
fascinating
smile
,
"
of
course
it
’
s
not
business
.
Then
it
’
s
pleasure
!
"
I
said
it
certainly
was
not
business
that
I
came
upon
,
but
it
was
not
quite
a
pleasant
matter
.
"
Then
,
my
dear
Miss
Summerson
,
"
said
he
with
the
frankest
gaiety
,
"
don
’
t
allude
to
it
.
Why
should
you
allude
to
anything
that
is
NOT
a
pleasant
matter
?
I
never
do
.
And
you
are
a
much
pleasanter
creature
,
in
every
point
of
view
,
than
I
.
You
are
perfectly
pleasant
;
I
am
imperfectly
pleasant
;
then
,
if
I
never
allude
to
an
unpleasant
matter
,
how
much
less
should
you
!
So
that
’
s
disposed
of
,
and
we
will
talk
of
something
else
.
"
Although
I
was
embarrassed
,
I
took
courage
to
intimate
that
I
still
wished
to
pursue
the
subject
.
"
I
should
think
it
a
mistake
,
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
with
his
airy
laugh
,
"
if
I
thought
Miss
Summerson
capable
of
making
one
.
But
I
don
’
t
!
"
"
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
"
said
I
,
raising
my
eyes
to
his
,
"
I
have
so
often
heard
you
say
that
you
are
unacquainted
with
the
common
affairs
of
life
—
"
"
Meaning
our
three
banking
-
house
friends
,
L
,
S
,
and
who
’
s
the
junior
partner
?
D
?
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
,
brightly
.
"
Not
an
idea
of
them
!
"
"
—
That
perhaps
,
"
I
went
on
,
"
you
will
excuse
my
boldness
on
that
account
.
I
think
you
ought
most
seriously
to
know
that
Richard
is
poorer
than
he
was
.
"
"
Dear
me
!
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
"
So
am
I
,
they
tell
me
.
"
"
And
in
very
embarrassed
circumstances
.
"
"
Parallel
case
,
exactly
!
"
said
Mr
.
Skimpole
with
a
delighted
countenance
.
"
This
at
present
naturally
causes
Ada
much
secret
anxiety
,
and
as
I
think
she
is
less
anxious
when
no
claims
are
made
upon
her
by
visitors
,
and
as
Richard
has
one
uneasiness
always
heavy
on
his
mind
,
it
has
occurred
to
me
to
take
the
liberty
of
saying
that
—
if
you
would
—
not
—
"
I
was
coming
to
the
point
with
great
difficulty
when
he
took
me
by
both
hands
and
with
a
radiant
face
and
in
the
liveliest
way
anticipated
it
.
"
Not
go
there
?
Certainly
not
,
my
dear
Miss
Summerson
,
most
assuredly
not
.
Why
SHOULD
I
go
there
?
When
I
go
anywhere
,
I
go
for
pleasure
.
I
don
’
t
go
anywhere
for
pain
,
because
I
was
made
for
pleasure
.
Pain
comes
to
ME
when
it
wants
me
.
Now
,
I
have
had
very
little
pleasure
at
our
dear
Richard
’
s
lately
,
and
your
practical
sagacity
demonstrates
why
.
Our
young
friends
,
losing
the
youthful
poetry
which
was
once
so
captivating
in
them
,
begin
to
think
,
’
This
is
a
man
who
wants
pounds
.
’
So
I
am
;
I
always
want
pounds
;
not
for
myself
,
but
because
tradespeople
always
want
them
of
me
.
Next
,
our
young
friends
begin
to
think
,
becoming
mercenary
,
’
This
is
the
man
who
HAD
pounds
,
who
borrowed
them
,
’
which
I
did
.
I
always
borrow
pounds
.
So
our
young
friends
,
reduced
to
prose
(
which
is
much
to
be
regretted
)
,
degenerate
in
their
power
of
imparting
pleasure
to
me
.
