"
At
work
so
late
,
my
dear
?
"
"
I
am
working
late
to
-
night
,
"
said
I
,
"
because
I
couldn
’
t
sleep
and
wished
to
tire
myself
.
But
,
dear
guardian
,
you
are
late
too
,
and
look
weary
.
You
have
no
trouble
,
I
hope
,
to
keep
you
waking
?
"
"
None
,
little
woman
,
that
YOU
would
readily
understand
,
"
said
he
.
He
spoke
in
a
regretful
tone
so
new
to
me
that
I
inwardly
repeated
,
as
if
that
would
help
me
to
his
meaning
,
"
That
I
could
readily
understand
!
"
"
Remain
a
moment
,
Esther
,
"
said
he
,
"
You
were
in
my
thoughts
.
"
"
I
hope
I
was
not
the
trouble
,
guardian
?
"
He
slightly
waved
his
hand
and
fell
into
his
usual
manner
.
The
change
was
so
remarkable
,
and
he
appeared
to
make
it
by
dint
of
so
much
self
-
command
,
that
I
found
myself
again
inwardly
repeating
,
"
None
that
I
could
understand
!
"
"
Little
woman
,
"
said
my
guardian
,
"
I
was
thinking
—
that
is
,
I
have
been
thinking
since
I
have
been
sitting
here
—
that
you
ought
to
know
of
your
own
history
all
I
know
.
It
is
very
little
.
Next
to
nothing
.
"
"
Dear
guardian
,
"
I
replied
,
"
when
you
spoke
to
me
before
on
that
subject
—
"
"
But
since
then
,
"
he
gravely
interposed
,
anticipating
what
I
meant
to
say
,
"
I
have
reflected
that
your
having
anything
to
ask
me
,
and
my
having
anything
to
tell
you
,
are
different
considerations
,
Esther
.
It
is
perhaps
my
duty
to
impart
to
you
the
little
I
know
.
"
"
If
you
think
so
,
guardian
,
it
is
right
.
"
"
I
think
so
,
"
he
returned
very
gently
,
and
kindly
,
and
very
distinctly
.
"
My
dear
,
I
think
so
now
.
If
any
real
disadvantage
can
attach
to
your
position
in
the
mind
of
any
man
or
woman
worth
a
thought
,
it
is
right
that
you
at
least
of
all
the
world
should
not
magnify
it
to
yourself
by
having
vague
impressions
of
its
nature
.
"
I
sat
down
and
said
after
a
little
effort
to
be
as
calm
as
I
ought
to
be
,
"
One
of
my
earliest
remembrances
,
guardian
,
is
of
these
words
:
’
Your
mother
,
Esther
,
is
your
disgrace
,
and
you
were
hers
.
The
time
will
come
,
and
soon
enough
,
when
you
will
understand
this
better
,
and
will
feel
it
too
,
as
no
one
save
a
woman
can
.
’
"
I
had
covered
my
face
with
my
hands
in
repeating
the
words
,
but
I
took
them
away
now
with
a
better
kind
of
shame
,
I
hope
,
and
told
him
that
to
him
I
owed
the
blessing
that
I
had
from
my
childhood
to
that
hour
never
,
never
,
never
felt
it
.
He
put
up
his
hand
as
if
to
stop
me
.
I
well
knew
that
he
was
never
to
be
thanked
,
and
said
no
more
.
"
Nine
years
,
my
dear
,
"
he
said
after
thinking
for
a
little
while
,
"
have
passed
since
I
received
a
letter
from
a
lady
living
in
seclusion
,
written
with
a
stern
passion
and
power
that
rendered
it
unlike
all
other
letters
I
have
ever
read
.
It
was
written
to
me
(
as
it
told
me
in
so
many
words
)
,
perhaps
because
it
was
the
writer
’
s
idiosyncrasy
to
put
that
trust
in
me
,
perhaps
because
it
was
mine
to
justify
it
.
It
told
me
of
a
child
,
an
orphan
girl
then
twelve
years
old
,
in
some
such
cruel
words
as
those
which
live
in
your
remembrance
.
It
told
me
that
the
writer
had
bred
her
in
secrecy
from
her
birth
,
had
blotted
out
all
trace
of
her
existence
,
and
that
if
the
writer
were
to
die
before
the
child
became
a
woman
,
she
would
be
left
entirely
friendless
,
nameless
,
and
unknown
.
It
asked
me
to
consider
if
I
would
,
in
that
case
,
finish
what
the
writer
had
begun
.
"
I
listened
in
silence
and
looked
attentively
at
him
.
"
Your
early
recollection
,
my
dear
,
will
supply
the
gloomy
medium
through
which
all
this
was
seen
and
expressed
by
the
writer
,
and
the
distorted
religion
which
clouded
her
mind
with
impressions
of
the
need
there
was
for
the
child
to
expiate
an
offence
of
which
she
was
quite
innocent
.
I
felt
concerned
for
the
little
creature
,
in
her
darkened
life
,
and
replied
to
the
letter
.
"
I
took
his
hand
and
kissed
it
.
"
It
laid
the
injunction
on
me
that
I
should
never
propose
to
see
the
writer
,
who
had
long
been
estranged
from
all
intercourse
with
the
world
,
but
who
would
see
a
confidential
agent
if
I
would
appoint
one
.
I
accredited
Mr
.
Kenge
.
The
lady
said
,
of
her
own
accord
and
not
of
his
seeking
,
that
her
name
was
an
assumed
one
.
That
she
was
,
if
there
were
any
ties
of
blood
in
such
a
case
,
the
child
’
s
aunt
.
That
more
than
this
she
would
never
(
and
he
was
well
persuaded
of
the
steadfastness
of
her
resolution
)
for
any
human
consideration
disclose
.
My
dear
,
I
have
told
you
all
.
"
I
held
his
hand
for
a
little
while
in
mine
.
"
I
saw
my
ward
oftener
than
she
saw
me
,
"
he
added
,
cheerily
making
light
of
it
,
"
and
I
always
knew
she
was
beloved
,
useful
,
and
happy
.
She
repays
me
twenty
-
thousandfold
,
and
twenty
more
to
that
,
every
hour
in
every
day
!
"
"
And
oftener
still
,
"
said
I
,
"
she
blesses
the
guardian
who
is
a
father
to
her
!
"
At
the
word
father
,
I
saw
his
former
trouble
come
into
his
face
.
He
subdued
it
as
before
,
and
it
was
gone
in
an
instant
;
but
it
had
been
there
and
it
had
come
so
swiftly
upon
my
words
that
I
felt
as
if
they
had
given
him
a
shock
.
I
again
inwardly
repeated
,
wondering
,
"
That
I
could
readily
understand
.
None
that
I
could
readily
understand
!
"
No
,
it
was
true
.
I
did
not
understand
it
.
Not
for
many
and
many
a
day
.
"
Take
a
fatherly
good
night
,
my
dear
,
"
said
he
,
kissing
me
on
the
forehead
,
"
and
so
to
rest
.
These
are
late
hours
for
working
and
thinking
.
You
do
that
for
all
of
us
,
all
day
long
,
little
housekeeper
!
"
I
neither
worked
nor
thought
any
more
that
night
.
I
opened
my
grateful
heart
to
heaven
in
thankfulness
for
its
providence
to
me
and
its
care
of
me
,
and
fell
asleep
.
We
had
a
visitor
next
day
.
Mr
.
Allan
Woodcourt
came
.
He
came
to
take
leave
of
us
;
he
had
settled
to
do
so
beforehand
.
He
was
going
to
China
and
to
India
as
a
surgeon
on
board
ship
.
He
was
to
be
away
a
long
,
long
time
.
I
believe
—
at
least
I
know
—
that
he
was
not
rich
.
All
his
widowed
mother
could
spare
had
been
spent
in
qualifying
him
for
his
profession
.
It
was
not
lucrative
to
a
young
practitioner
,
with
very
little
influence
in
London
;
and
although
he
was
,
night
and
day
,
at
the
service
of
numbers
of
poor
people
and
did
wonders
of
gentleness
and
skill
for
them
,
he
gained
very
little
by
it
in
money
.
He
was
seven
years
older
than
I
.
Not
that
I
need
mention
it
,
for
it
hardly
seems
to
belong
to
anything
.
I
think
—
I
mean
,
he
told
us
—
that
he
had
been
in
practice
three
or
four
years
and
that
if
he
could
have
hoped
to
contend
through
three
or
four
more
,
he
would
not
have
made
the
voyage
on
which
he
was
bound
.
But
he
had
no
fortune
or
private
means
,
and
so
he
was
going
away
.
He
had
been
to
see
us
several
times
altogether
.
We
thought
it
a
pity
he
should
go
away
.
Because
he
was
distinguished
in
his
art
among
those
who
knew
it
best
,
and
some
of
the
greatest
men
belonging
to
it
had
a
high
opinion
of
him
.
When
he
came
to
bid
us
good
-
bye
,
he
brought
his
mother
with
him
for
the
first
time
.
She
was
a
pretty
old
lady
,
with
bright
black
eyes
,
but
she
seemed
proud
.
She
came
from
Wales
and
had
had
,
a
long
time
ago
,
an
eminent
person
for
an
ancestor
,
of
the
name
of
Morgan
ap
-
Kerrig
—
of
some
place
that
sounded
like
Gimlet
—
who
was
the
most
illustrious
person
that
ever
was
known
and
all
of
whose
relations
were
a
sort
of
royal
family
.
He
appeared
to
have
passed
his
life
in
always
getting
up
into
mountains
and
fighting
somebody
;
and
a
bard
whose
name
sounded
like
Crumlinwallinwer
had
sung
his
praises
in
a
piece
which
was
called
,
as
nearly
as
I
could
catch
it
,
Mewlinnwillinwodd
.
Mrs
.
Woodcourt
,
after
expatiating
to
us
on
the
fame
of
her
great
kinsman
,
said
that
no
doubt
wherever
her
son
Allan
went
he
would
remember
his
pedigree
and
would
on
no
account
form
an
alliance
below
it
.
She
told
him
that
there
were
many
handsome
English
ladies
in
India
who
went
out
on
speculation
,
and
that
there
were
some
to
be
picked
up
with
property
,
but
that
neither
charms
nor
wealth
would
suffice
for
the
descendant
from
such
a
line
without
birth
,
which
must
ever
be
the
first
consideration
.
She
talked
so
much
about
birth
that
for
a
moment
I
half
fancied
,
and
with
pain
—
But
what
an
idle
fancy
to
suppose
that
she
could
think
or
care
what
MINE
was
!
Mr
.
Woodcourt
seemed
a
little
distressed
by
her
prolixity
,
but
he
was
too
considerate
to
let
her
see
it
and
contrived
delicately
to
bring
the
conversation
round
to
making
his
acknowledgments
to
my
guardian
for
his
hospitality
and
for
the
very
happy
hours
—
he
called
them
the
very
happy
hours
—
he
had
passed
with
us
.
The
recollection
of
them
,
he
said
,
would
go
with
him
wherever
he
went
and
would
be
always
treasured
.
And
so
we
gave
him
our
hands
,
one
after
another
—
at
least
,
they
did
—
and
I
did
;
and
so
he
put
his
lips
to
Ada
’
s
hand
—
and
to
mine
;
and
so
he
went
away
upon
his
long
,
long
voyage
!
I
was
very
busy
indeed
all
day
and
wrote
directions
home
to
the
servants
,
and
wrote
notes
for
my
guardian
,
and
dusted
his
books
and
papers
,
and
jingled
my
housekeeping
keys
a
good
deal
,
one
way
and
another
.
I
was
still
busy
between
the
lights
,
singing
and
working
by
the
window
,
when
who
should
come
in
but
Caddy
,
whom
I
had
no
expectation
of
seeing
!
"
Why
,
Caddy
,
my
dear
,
"
said
I
,
"
what
beautiful
flowers
!
"
She
had
such
an
exquisite
little
nosegay
in
her
hand
.
"
Indeed
,
I
think
so
,
Esther
,
"
replied
Caddy
.
"
They
are
the
loveliest
I
ever
saw
.
"
"
Prince
,
my
dear
?
"
said
I
in
a
whisper
"
No
,
"
answered
Caddy
,
shaking
her
head
and
holding
them
to
me
to
smell
.
"
Not
Prince
.
"
"
Well
,
to
be
sure
,
Caddy
!
"
said
I
.
"
You
must
have
two
lovers
!
"
"
What
?
Do
they
look
like
that
sort
of
thing
?
"
said
Caddy
.
"
Do
they
look
like
that
sort
of
thing
?
"
I
repeated
,
pinching
her
cheek
.
Caddy
only
laughed
in
return
,
and
telling
me
that
she
had
come
for
half
an
hour
,
at
the
expiration
of
which
time
Prince
would
be
waiting
for
her
at
the
corner
,
sat
chatting
with
me
and
Ada
in
the
window
,
every
now
and
then
handing
me
the
flowers
again
or
trying
how
they
looked
against
my
hair
.
At
last
,
when
she
was
going
,
she
took
me
into
my
room
and
put
them
in
my
dress
.
"
For
me
?
"
said
I
,
surprised
.
"
For
you
,
"
said
Caddy
with
a
kiss
.
"
They
were
left
behind
by
somebody
.
"
"
Left
behind
?
"
"
At
poor
Miss
Flite
’
s
,
"
said
Caddy
.
"
Somebody
who
has
been
very
good
to
her
was
hurrying
away
an
hour
ago
to
join
a
ship
and
left
these
flowers
behind
.
No
,
no
!
Don
’
t
take
them
out
.
Let
the
pretty
little
things
lie
here
,
"
said
Caddy
,
adjusting
them
with
a
careful
hand
,
"
because
I
was
present
myself
,
and
I
shouldn
’
t
wonder
if
somebody
left
them
on
purpose
!
"
"
Do
they
look
like
that
sort
of
thing
?
"
said
Ada
,
coming
laughingly
behind
me
and
clasping
me
merrily
round
the
waist
.
"
Oh
,
yes
,
indeed
they
do
,
Dame
Durden
!
They
look
very
,
very
like
that
sort
of
thing
.
Oh
,
very
like
it
indeed
,
my
dear
!
"
It
was
not
so
easy
as
it
had
appeared
at
first
to
arrange
for
Richard
’
s
making
a
trial
of
Mr
.
Kenge
’
s
office
.
Richard
himself
was
the
chief
impediment
.
As
soon
as
he
had
it
in
his
power
to
leave
Mr
.
Badger
at
any
moment
,
he
began
to
doubt
whether
he
wanted
to
leave
him
at
all
.
He
didn
’
t
know
,
he
said
,
really
.
It
wasn
’
t
a
bad
profession
;
he
couldn
’
t
assert
that
he
disliked
it
;
perhaps
he
liked
it
as
well
as
he
liked
any
other
—
suppose
he
gave
it
one
more
chance
!
Upon
that
,
he
shut
himself
up
for
a
few
weeks
with
some
books
and
some
bones
and
seemed
to
acquire
a
considerable
fund
of
information
with
great
rapidity
.
His
fervour
,
after
lasting
about
a
month
,
began
to
cool
,
and
when
it
was
quite
cooled
,
began
to
grow
warm
again
.
His
vacillations
between
law
and
medicine
lasted
so
long
that
midsummer
arrived
before
he
finally
separated
from
Mr
.
Badger
and
entered
on
an
experimental
course
of
Messrs
.
Kenge
and
Carboy
.
For
all
his
waywardness
,
he
took
great
credit
to
himself
as
being
determined
to
be
in
earnest
"
this
time
.
"
And
he
was
so
good
-
natured
throughout
,
and
in
such
high
spirits
,
and
so
fond
of
Ada
,
that
it
was
very
difficult
indeed
to
be
otherwise
than
pleased
with
him
.
"
As
to
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
who
,
I
may
mention
,
found
the
wind
much
given
,
during
this
period
,
to
stick
in
the
east
;
"
As
to
Mr
.
Jarndyce
,
"
Richard
would
say
to
me
,
"
he
is
the
finest
fellow
in
the
world
,
Esther
!
I
must
be
particularly
careful
,
if
it
were
only
for
his
satisfaction
,
to
take
myself
well
to
task
and
have
a
regular
wind
-
up
of
this
business
now
.
"
The
idea
of
his
taking
himself
well
to
task
,
with
that
laughing
face
and
heedless
manner
and
with
a
fancy
that
everything
could
catch
and
nothing
could
hold
,
was
ludicrously
anomalous
.
However
,
he
told
us
between
-
whiles
that
he
was
doing
it
to
such
an
extent
that
he
wondered
his
hair
didn
’
t
turn
grey
.
His
regular
wind
-
up
of
the
business
was
(
as
I
have
said
)
that
he
went
to
Mr
.
Kenge
’
s
about
midsummer
to
try
how
he
liked
it
.
All
this
time
he
was
,
in
money
affairs
,
what
I
have
described
him
in
a
former
illustration
—
generous
,
profuse
,
wildly
careless
,
but
fully
persuaded
that
he
was
rather
calculating
and
prudent
.
I
happened
to
say
to
Ada
,
in
his
presence
,
half
jestingly
,
half
seriously
,
about
the
time
of
his
going
to
Mr
.
Kenge
’
s
,
that
he
needed
to
have
Fortunatus
’
purse
,
he
made
so
light
of
money
,
which
he
answered
in
this
way
,
"
My
jewel
of
a
dear
cousin
,
you
hear
this
old
woman
!
Why
does
she
say
that
?
Because
I
gave
eight
pounds
odd
(
or
whatever
it
was
)
for
a
certain
neat
waistcoat
and
buttons
a
few
days
ago
.
Now
,
if
I
had
stayed
at
Badger
’
s
I
should
have
been
obliged
to
spend
twelve
pounds
at
a
blow
for
some
heart
-
breaking
lecture
-
fees
.
So
I
make
four
pounds
—
in
a
lump
—
by
the
transaction
!
"
It
was
a
question
much
discussed
between
him
and
my
guardian
what
arrangements
should
be
made
for
his
living
in
London
while
he
experimented
on
the
law
,
for
we
had
long
since
gone
back
to
Bleak
House
,
and
it
was
too
far
off
to
admit
of
his
coming
there
oftener
than
once
a
week
.
My
guardian
told
me
that
if
Richard
were
to
settle
down
at
Mr
.
Kenge
’
s
he
would
take
some
apartments
or
chambers
where
we
too
could
occasionally
stay
for
a
few
days
at
a
time
;
"
but
,
little
woman
,
"
he
added
,
rubbing
his
head
very
significantly
,
"
he
hasn
’
t
settled
down
there
yet
!
"
The
discussions
ended
in
our
hiring
for
him
,
by
the
month
,
a
neat
little
furnished
lodging
in
a
quiet
old
house
near
Queen
Square
.
He
immediately
began
to
spend
all
the
money
he
had
in
buying
the
oddest
little
ornaments
and
luxuries
for
this
lodging
;
and
so
often
as
Ada
and
I
dissuaded
him
from
making
any
purchase
that
he
had
in
contemplation
which
was
particularly
unnecessary
and
expensive
,
he
took
credit
for
what
it
would
have
cost
and
made
out
that
to
spend
anything
less
on
something
else
was
to
save
the
difference
.
While
these
affairs
were
in
abeyance
,
our
visit
to
Mr
.
Boythorn
’
s
was
postponed
.
At
length
,
Richard
having
taken
possession
of
his
lodging
,
there
was
nothing
to
prevent
our
departure
.
He
could
have
gone
with
us
at
that
time
of
the
year
very
well
,
but
he
was
in
the
full
novelty
of
his
new
position
and
was
making
most
energetic
attempts
to
unravel
the
mysteries
of
the
fatal
suit
.
Consequently
we
went
without
him
,
and
my
darling
was
delighted
to
praise
him
for
being
so
busy
.
We
made
a
pleasant
journey
down
into
Lincolnshire
by
the
coach
and
had
an
entertaining
companion
in
Mr
.
Skimpole
.
His
furniture
had
been
all
cleared
off
,
it
appeared
,
by
the
person
who
took
possession
of
it
on
his
blue
-
eyed
daughter
’
s
birthday
,
but
he
seemed
quite
relieved
to
think
that
it
was
gone
.
