Well
!
I
wish
that
,
I
know
that
I
should
win
less
,
as
to
wages
here
.
Good
.
I
am
content
.
"
"
I
assure
you
,
"
said
I
,
quite
embarrassed
by
the
mere
idea
of
having
such
an
attendant
,
"
that
I
keep
no
maid
—
"
"
Ah
,
mademoiselle
,
but
why
not
?
Why
not
,
when
you
can
have
one
so
devoted
to
you
!
Who
would
be
enchanted
to
serve
you
;
who
would
be
so
true
,
so
zealous
,
and
so
faithful
every
day
!
Mademoiselle
,
I
wish
with
all
my
heart
to
serve
you
.
Do
not
speak
of
money
at
present
.
Take
me
as
I
am
.
For
nothing
!
"
She
was
so
singularly
earnest
that
I
drew
back
,
almost
afraid
of
her
.
Without
appearing
to
notice
it
,
in
her
ardour
she
still
pressed
herself
upon
me
,
speaking
in
a
rapid
subdued
voice
,
though
always
with
a
certain
grace
and
propriety
.
"
Mademoiselle
,
I
come
from
the
South
country
where
we
are
quick
and
where
we
like
and
dislike
very
strong
.
My
Lady
was
too
high
for
me
;
I
was
too
high
for
her
.
It
is
done
—
past
—
finished
!
Receive
me
as
your
domestic
,
and
I
will
serve
you
well
.
I
will
do
more
for
you
than
you
figure
to
yourself
now
.
Chut
!
Mademoiselle
,
I
will
—
no
matter
,
I
will
do
my
utmost
possible
in
all
things
.
If
you
accept
my
service
,
you
will
not
repent
it
.
Mademoiselle
,
you
will
not
repent
it
,
and
I
will
serve
you
well
.
You
don
’
t
know
how
well
!
"
There
was
a
lowering
energy
in
her
face
as
she
stood
looking
at
me
while
I
explained
the
impossibility
of
my
engaging
her
(
without
thinking
it
necessary
to
say
how
very
little
I
desired
to
do
so
)
,
which
seemed
to
bring
visibly
before
me
some
woman
from
the
streets
of
Paris
in
the
reign
of
terror
.
She
heard
me
out
without
interruption
and
then
said
with
her
pretty
accent
and
in
her
mildest
voice
,
"
Hey
,
mademoiselle
,
I
have
received
my
answer
!
I
am
sorry
of
it
.
But
I
must
go
elsewhere
and
seek
what
I
have
not
found
here
.
Will
you
graciously
let
me
kiss
your
hand
?
"
She
looked
at
me
more
intently
as
she
took
it
,
and
seemed
to
take
note
,
with
her
momentary
touch
,
of
every
vein
in
it
.
"
I
fear
I
surprised
you
,
mademoiselle
,
on
the
day
of
the
storm
?
"
she
said
with
a
parting
curtsy
.
I
confessed
that
she
had
surprised
us
all
.
"
I
took
an
oath
,
mademoiselle
,
"
she
said
,
smiling
,
"
and
I
wanted
to
stamp
it
on
my
mind
so
that
I
might
keep
it
faithfully
.
And
I
will
!
Adieu
,
mademoiselle
!
"
So
ended
our
conference
,
which
I
was
very
glad
to
bring
to
a
close
.
I
supposed
she
went
away
from
the
village
,
for
I
saw
her
no
more
;
and
nothing
else
occurred
to
disturb
our
tranquil
summer
pleasures
until
six
weeks
were
out
and
we
returned
home
as
I
began
just
now
by
saying
.
At
that
time
,
and
for
a
good
many
weeks
after
that
time
,
Richard
was
constant
in
his
visits
.
Besides
coming
every
Saturday
or
Sunday
and
remaining
with
us
until
Monday
morning
,
he
sometimes
rode
out
on
horseback
unexpectedly
and
passed
the
evening
with
us
and
rode
back
again
early
next
day
.
He
was
as
vivacious
as
ever
and
told
us
he
was
very
industrious
,
but
I
was
not
easy
in
my
mind
about
him
.
It
appeared
to
me
that
his
industry
was
all
misdirected
.
I
could
not
find
that
it
led
to
anything
but
the
formation
of
delusive
hopes
in
connexion
with
the
suit
already
the
pernicious
cause
of
so
much
sorrow
and
ruin
.
He
had
got
at
the
core
of
that
mystery
now
,
he
told
us
,
and
nothing
could
be
plainer
than
that
the
will
under
which
he
and
Ada
were
to
take
I
don
’
t
know
how
many
thousands
of
pounds
must
be
finally
established
if
there
were
any
sense
or
justice
in
the
Court
of
Chancery
—
but
oh
,
what
a
great
IF
that
sounded
in
my
ears
—
and
that
this
happy
conclusion
could
not
be
much
longer
delayed
.
He
proved
this
to
himself
by
all
the
weary
arguments
on
that
side
he
had
read
,
and
every
one
of
them
sunk
him
deeper
in
the
infatuation
.
He
had
even
begun
to
haunt
the
court
.
He
told
us
how
he
saw
Miss
Flite
there
daily
,
how
they
talked
together
,
and
how
he
did
her
little
kindnesses
,
and
how
,
while
he
laughed
at
her
,
he
pitied
her
from
his
heart
.
But
he
never
thought
—
never
,
my
poor
,
dear
,
sanguine
Richard
,
capable
of
so
much
happiness
then
,
and
with
such
better
things
before
him
—
what
a
fatal
link
was
riveting
between
his
fresh
youth
and
her
faded
age
,
between
his
free
hopes
and
her
caged
birds
,
and
her
hungry
garret
,
and
her
wandering
mind
.
Ada
loved
him
too
well
to
mistrust
him
much
in
anything
he
said
or
did
,
and
my
guardian
,
though
he
frequently
complained
of
the
east
wind
and
read
more
than
usual
in
the
growlery
,
preserved
a
strict
silence
on
the
subject
.
So
I
thought
one
day
when
I
went
to
London
to
meet
Caddy
Jellyby
,
at
her
solicitation
,
I
would
ask
Richard
to
be
in
waiting
for
me
at
the
coach
-
office
,
that
we
might
have
a
little
talk
together
.
I
found
him
there
when
I
arrived
,
and
we
walked
away
arm
in
arm
.
"
Well
,
Richard
,
"
said
I
as
soon
as
I
could
begin
to
be
grave
with
him
,
"
are
you
beginning
to
feel
more
settled
now
?
"
"
Oh
,
yes
,
my
dear
!
"
returned
Richard
.
"
I
’
m
all
right
enough
.
"
"
But
settled
?
"
said
I
.
"
How
do
you
mean
,
settled
?
"
returned
Richard
with
his
gay
laugh
.
"
Settled
in
the
law
,
"
said
I
.
"
Oh
,
aye
,
"
replied
Richard
,
"
I
’
m
all
right
enough
.
"
"
You
said
that
before
,
my
dear
Richard
.
"
"
And
you
don
’
t
think
it
’
s
an
answer
,
eh
?
Well
!
Perhaps
it
’
s
not
.
Settled
?
You
mean
,
do
I
feel
as
if
I
were
settling
down
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
"
Why
,
no
,
I
can
’
t
say
I
am
settling
down
,
"
said
Richard
,
strongly
emphasizing
"
down
,
"
as
if
that
expressed
the
difficulty
,
"
because
one
can
’
t
settle
down
while
this
business
remains
in
such
an
unsettled
state
.
When
I
say
this
business
,
of
course
I
mean
the
—
forbidden
subject
.
"
"
Do
you
think
it
will
ever
be
in
a
settled
state
?
"
said
I
.
"
Not
the
least
doubt
of
it
,
"
answered
Richard
.
We
walked
a
little
way
without
speaking
,
and
presently
Richard
addressed
me
in
his
frankest
and
most
feeling
manner
,
thus
:
"
My
dear
Esther
,
I
understand
you
,
and
I
wish
to
heaven
I
were
a
more
constant
sort
of
fellow
.
I
don
’
t
mean
constant
to
Ada
,
for
I
love
her
dearly
—
better
and
better
every
day
—
but
constant
to
myself
.
(
Somehow
,
I
mean
something
that
I
can
’
t
very
well
express
,
but
you
’
ll
make
it
out
.
)
If
I
were
a
more
constant
sort
of
fellow
,
I
should
have
held
on
either
to
Badger
or
to
Kenge
and
Carboy
like
grim
death
,
and
should
have
begun
to
be
steady
and
systematic
by
this
time
,
and
shouldn
’
t
be
in
debt
,
and
—
"
"
ARE
you
in
debt
,
Richard
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Richard
,
"
I
am
a
little
so
,
my
dear
.
Also
,
I
have
taken
rather
too
much
to
billiards
and
that
sort
of
thing
.
Now
the
murder
’
s
out
;
you
despise
me
,
Esther
,
don
’
t
you
?
"
"
You
know
I
don
’
t
,
"
said
I
.
"
You
are
kinder
to
me
than
I
often
am
to
myself
,
"
he
returned
.
"
My
dear
Esther
,
I
am
a
very
unfortunate
dog
not
to
be
more
settled
,
but
how
CAN
I
be
more
settled
?
If
you
lived
in
an
unfinished
house
,
you
couldn
’
t
settle
down
in
it
;
if
you
were
condemned
to
leave
everything
you
undertook
unfinished
,
you
would
find
it
hard
to
apply
yourself
to
anything
;
and
yet
that
’
s
my
unhappy
case
.
I
was
born
into
this
unfinished
contention
with
all
its
chances
and
changes
,
and
it
began
to
unsettle
me
before
I
quite
knew
the
difference
between
a
suit
at
law
and
a
suit
of
clothes
;
and
it
has
gone
on
unsettling
me
ever
since
;
and
here
I
am
now
,
conscious
sometimes
that
I
am
but
a
worthless
fellow
to
love
my
confiding
cousin
Ada
.
"
We
were
in
a
solitary
place
,
and
he
put
his
hands
before
his
eyes
and
sobbed
as
he
said
the
words
.
"
Oh
,
Richard
!
"
said
I
.
"
Do
not
be
so
moved
.
You
have
a
noble
nature
,
and
Ada
’
s
love
may
make
you
worthier
every
day
.
"
"
I
know
,
my
dear
,
"
he
replied
,
pressing
my
arm
,
"
I
know
all
that
.
You
mustn
’
t
mind
my
being
a
little
soft
now
,
for
I
have
had
all
this
upon
my
mind
for
a
long
time
,
and
have
often
meant
to
speak
to
you
,
and
have
sometimes
wanted
opportunity
and
sometimes
courage
.
I
know
what
the
thought
of
Ada
ought
to
do
for
me
,
but
it
doesn
’
t
do
it
.
I
am
too
unsettled
even
for
that
.
I
love
her
most
devotedly
,
and
yet
I
do
her
wrong
,
in
doing
myself
wrong
,
every
day
and
hour
.
But
it
can
’
t
last
for
ever
.
We
shall
come
on
for
a
final
hearing
and
get
judgment
in
our
favour
,
and
then
you
and
Ada
shall
see
what
I
can
really
be
!
"
It
had
given
me
a
pang
to
hear
him
sob
and
see
the
tears
start
out
between
his
fingers
,
but
that
was
infinitely
less
affecting
to
me
than
the
hopeful
animation
with
which
he
said
these
words
.
"
I
have
looked
well
into
the
papers
,
Esther
.
I
have
been
deep
in
them
for
months
,
"
he
continued
,
recovering
his
cheerfulness
in
a
moment
,
"
and
you
may
rely
upon
it
that
we
shall
come
out
triumphant
.
As
to
years
of
delay
,
there
has
been
no
want
of
them
,
heaven
knows
!
And
there
is
the
greater
probability
of
our
bringing
the
matter
to
a
speedy
close
;
in
fact
,
it
’
s
on
the
paper
now
.
It
will
be
all
right
at
last
,
and
then
you
shall
see
!
"
Recalling
how
he
had
just
now
placed
Messrs
.
Kenge
and
Carboy
in
the
same
category
with
Mr
.
Badger
,
I
asked
him
when
he
intended
to
be
articled
in
Lincoln
’
s
Inn
.
"
There
again
!
I
think
not
at
all
,
Esther
,
"
he
returned
with
an
effort
.
"
I
fancy
I
have
had
enough
of
it
.
Having
worked
at
Jarndyce
and
Jarndyce
like
a
galley
slave
,
I
have
slaked
my
thirst
for
the
law
and
satisfied
myself
that
I
shouldn
’
t
like
it
.
Besides
,
I
find
it
unsettles
me
more
and
more
to
be
so
constantly
upon
the
scene
of
action
.
So
what
,
"
continued
Richard
,
confident
again
by
this
time
,
"
do
I
naturally
turn
my
thoughts
to
?
"
"
I
can
’
t
imagine
,
"
said
I
.
"
Don
’
t
look
so
serious
,
"
returned
Richard
,
"
because
it
’
s
the
best
thing
I
can
do
,
my
dear
Esther
,
I
am
certain
.
It
’
s
not
as
if
I
wanted
a
profession
for
life
.
These
proceedings
will
come
to
a
termination
,
and
then
I
am
provided
for
.
No
.
I
look
upon
it
as
a
pursuit
which
is
in
its
nature
more
or
less
unsettled
,
and
therefore
suited
to
my
temporary
condition
—
I
may
say
,
precisely
suited
.
What
is
it
that
I
naturally
turn
my
thoughts
to
?
"
I
looked
at
him
and
shook
my
head
.
"
What
,
"
said
Richard
,
in
a
tone
of
perfect
conviction
,
"
but
the
army
!
"
"
The
army
?
"
said
I
.
"
The
army
,
of
course
.
What
I
have
to
do
is
to
get
a
commission
;
and
—
there
I
am
,
you
know
!
"
said
Richard
.
And
then
he
showed
me
,
proved
by
elaborate
calculations
in
his
pocket
-
book
,
that
supposing
he
had
contracted
,
say
,
two
hundred
pounds
of
debt
in
six
months
out
of
the
army
;
and
that
he
contracted
no
debt
at
all
within
a
corresponding
period
in
the
army
—
as
to
which
he
had
quite
made
up
his
mind
;
this
step
must
involve
a
saving
of
four
hundred
pounds
in
a
year
,
or
two
thousand
pounds
in
five
years
,
which
was
a
considerable
sum
.
And
then
he
spoke
so
ingenuously
and
sincerely
of
the
sacrifice
he
made
in
withdrawing
himself
for
a
time
from
Ada
,
and
of
the
earnestness
with
which
he
aspired
—
as
in
thought
he
always
did
,
I
know
full
well
—
to
repay
her
love
,
and
to
ensure
her
happiness
,
and
to
conquer
what
was
amiss
in
himself
,
and
to
acquire
the
very
soul
of
decision
,
that
he
made
my
heart
ache
keenly
,
sorely
.
For
,
I
thought
,
how
would
this
end
,
how
could
this
end
,
when
so
soon
and
so
surely
all
his
manly
qualities
were
touched
by
the
fatal
blight
that
ruined
everything
it
rested
on
!
I
spoke
to
Richard
with
all
the
earnestness
I
felt
,
and
all
the
hope
I
could
not
quite
feel
then
,
and
implored
him
for
Ada
’
s
sake
not
to
put
any
trust
in
Chancery
.
To
all
I
said
,
Richard
readily
assented
,
riding
over
the
court
and
everything
else
in
his
easy
way
and
drawing
the
brightest
pictures
of
the
character
he
was
to
settle
into
—
alas
,
when
the
grievous
suit
should
loose
its
hold
upon
him
!
We
had
a
long
talk
,
but
it
always
came
back
to
that
,
in
substance
.
At
last
we
came
to
Soho
Square
,
where
Caddy
Jellyby
had
appointed
to
wait
for
me
,
as
a
quiet
place
in
the
neighbourhood
of
Newman
Street
.
Caddy
was
in
the
garden
in
the
centre
and
hurried
out
as
soon
as
I
appeared
.
After
a
few
cheerful
words
,
Richard
left
us
together
.
"
Prince
has
a
pupil
over
the
way
,
Esther
,
"
said
Caddy
,
"
and
got
the
key
for
us
.
So
if
you
will
walk
round
and
round
here
with
me
,
we
can
lock
ourselves
in
and
I
can
tell
you
comfortably
what
I
wanted
to
see
your
dear
good
face
about
.
"
"
Very
well
,
my
dear
,
"
said
I
.
"
Nothing
could
be
better
.
"
So
Caddy
,
after
affectionately
squeezing
the
dear
good
face
as
she
called
it
,
locked
the
gate
,
and
took
my
arm
,
and
we
began
to
walk
round
the
garden
very
cosily
.
"
You
see
,
Esther
,
"
said
Caddy
,
who
thoroughly
enjoyed
a
little
confidence
,
"
after
you
spoke
to
me
about
its
being
wrong
to
marry
without
Ma
’
s
knowledge
,
or
even
to
keep
Ma
long
in
the
dark
respecting
our
engagement
—
though
I
don
’
t
believe
Ma
cares
much
for
me
,
I
must
say
—
I
thought
it
right
to
mention
your
opinions
to
Prince
.
In
the
first
place
because
I
want
to
profit
by
everything
you
tell
me
,
and
in
the
second
place
because
I
have
no
secrets
from
Prince
.
"
"
I
hope
he
approved
,
Caddy
?
"
"
Oh
,
my
dear
!
I
assure
you
he
would
approve
of
anything
you
could
say
.
You
have
no
idea
what
an
opinion
he
has
of
you
!
"
"
Indeed
!
"
"
Esther
,
it
’
s
enough
to
make
anybody
but
me
jealous
,
"
said
Caddy
,
laughing
and
shaking
her
head
;
"
but
it
only
makes
me
joyful
,
for
you
are
the
first
friend
I
ever
had
,
and
the
best
friend
I
ever
can
have
,
and
nobody
can
respect
and
love
you
too
much
to
please
me
.
"
"
Upon
my
word
,
Caddy
,
"
said
I
,
"
you
are
in
the
general
conspiracy
to
keep
me
in
a
good
humour
.
Well
,
my
dear
?
"
"
Well
!
I
am
going
to
tell
you
,
"
replied
Caddy
,
crossing
her
hands
confidentially
upon
my
arm
.
"
So
we
talked
a
good
deal
about
it
,
and
so
I
said
to
Prince
,
’
Prince
,
as
Miss
Summerson
—
’
"
"
I
hope
you
didn
’
t
say
’
Miss
Summerson
’
?
"
"
No
.
I
didn
’
t
!
"
cried
Caddy
,
greatly
pleased
and
with
the
brightest
of
faces
.
"
I
said
,
’
Esther
.
’
I
said
to
Prince
,
’
As
Esther
is
decidedly
of
that
opinion
,
Prince
,
and
has
expressed
it
to
me
,
and
always
hints
it
when
she
writes
those
kind
notes
,
which
you
are
so
fond
of
hearing
me
read
to
you
,
I
am
prepared
to
disclose
the
truth
to
Ma
whenever
you
think
proper
.
And
I
think
,
Prince
,
’
said
I
,
’
that
Esther
thinks
that
I
should
be
in
a
better
,
and
truer
,
and
more
honourable
position
altogether
if
you
did
the
same
to
your
papa
.
’
"
"
Yes
,
my
dear
,
"
said
I
.
"
Esther
certainly
does
think
so
.
"
"
So
I
was
right
,
you
see
!
"
exclaimed
Caddy
.
"
Well
!
This
troubled
Prince
a
good
deal
,
not
because
he
had
the
least
doubt
about
it
,
but
because
he
is
so
considerate
of
the
feelings
of
old
Mr
.
Turveydrop
;
and
he
had
his
apprehensions
that
old
Mr
.
Turveydrop
might
break
his
heart
,
or
faint
away
,
or
be
very
much
overcome
in
some
affecting
manner
or
other
if
he
made
such
an
announcement
.
He
feared
old
Mr
.
Turveydrop
might
consider
it
undutiful
and
might
receive
too
great
a
shock
.
For
old
Mr
.
Turveydrop
’
s
deportment
is
very
beautiful
,
you
know
,
Esther
,
"
said
Caddy
,
"
and
his
feelings
are
extremely
sensitive
.
"
"
Are
they
,
my
dear
?
"
"
Oh
,
extremely
sensitive
.
Prince
says
so
.
Now
,
this
has
caused
my
darling
child
—
I
didn
’
t
mean
to
use
the
expression
to
you
,
Esther
,
"
Caddy
apologized
,
her
face
suffused
with
blushes
,
"
but
I
generally
call
Prince
my
darling
child
.
"
I
laughed
;
and
Caddy
laughed
and
blushed
,
and
went
on
.
"
This
has
caused
him
,
Esther
—
"
"
Caused
whom
,
my
dear
?
"
"
Oh
,
you
tiresome
thing
!
"
said
Caddy
,
laughing
,
with
her
pretty
face
on
fire
.
"
My
darling
child
,
if
you
insist
upon
it
!
This
has
caused
him
weeks
of
uneasiness
and
has
made
him
delay
,
from
day
to
day
,
in
a
very
anxious
manner
.
At
last
he
said
to
me
,
’
Caddy
,
if
Miss
Summerson
,
who
is
a
great
favourite
with
my
father
,
could
be
prevailed
upon
to
be
present
when
I
broke
the
subject
,
I
think
I
could
do
it
.
’
So
I
promised
I
would
ask
you
.
And
I
made
up
my
mind
,
besides
,
"
said
Caddy
,
looking
at
me
hopefully
but
timidly
,
"
that
if
you
consented
,
I
would
ask
you
afterwards
to
come
with
me
to
Ma
.
This
is
what
I
meant
when
I
said
in
my
note
that
I
had
a
great
favour
and
a
great
assistance
to
beg
of
you
.
And
if
you
thought
you
could
grant
it
,
Esther
,
we
should
both
be
very
grateful
.
"
"
Let
me
see
,
Caddy
,
"
said
I
,
pretending
to
consider
.
