‘

Oh

,

thank

Heaven

!

’

cried

Agnes

,

fervently

.

‘

But

,

’

said

Traddles

,

‘

the

surplus

that

would

be

left

as

his

means

of

support

—

and

I

suppose

the

house

to

be

sold

,

even

in

saying

this

—

would

be

so

small

,

not

exceeding

in

all

probability

some

hundreds

of

pounds

,

that

perhaps

,

Miss

Wickfield

,

it

would

be

best

to

consider

whether

he

might

not

retain

his

agency

of

the

estate

to

which

he

has

so

long

been

receiver

.

His

friends

might

advise

him

,

you

know

;

now

he

is

free

.

You

yourself

,

Miss

Wickfield

—

Copperfield

—

I

—

’

‘

I

have

considered

it

,

Trotwood

,

’

said

Agnes

,

looking

to

me

,

‘

and

I

feel

that

it

ought

not

to

be

,

and

must

not

be

;

even

on

the

recommendation

of

a

friend

to

whom

I

am

so

grateful

,

and

owe

so

much

.

‘

I

will

not

say

that

I

recommend

it

,

’

observed

Traddles

.

‘

I

think

it

right

to

suggest

it

.

No

more

.

’

‘

I

am

happy

to

hear

you

say

so

,

’

answered

Agnes

,

steadily

,

‘

for

it

gives

me

hope

,

almost

assurance

,

that

we

think

alike

.

Dear

Mr

.

Traddles

and

dear

Trotwood

,

papa

once

free

with

honour

,

what

could

I

wish

for

!

I

have

always

aspired

,

if

I

could

have

released

him

from

the

toils

in

which

he

was

held

,

to

render

back

some

little

portion

of

the

love

and

care

I

owe

him

,

and

to

devote

my

life

to

him

.

It

has

been

,

for

years

,

the

utmost

height

of

my

hopes

.

To

take

our

future

on

myself

,

will

be

the

next

great

happiness

—

the

next

to

his

release

from

all

trust

and

responsibility

—

that

I

can

know

.

’

‘

Have

you

thought

how

,

Agnes

?

’

‘

Often

!

I

am

not

afraid

,

dear

Trotwood

.

I

am

certain

of

success

.

So

many

people

know

me

here

,

and

think

kindly

of

me

,

that

I

am

certain

.

Don

’

t

mistrust

me

.

Our

wants

are

not

many

.

If

I

rent

the

dear

old

house

,

and

keep

a

school

,

I

shall

be

useful

and

happy

.

’

The

calm

fervour

of

her

cheerful

voice

brought

back

so

vividly

,

first

the

dear

old

house

itself

,

and

then

my

solitary

home

,

that

my

heart

was

too

full

for

speech

.

Traddles

pretended

for

a

little

while

to

be

busily

looking

among

the

papers

.

‘

Next

,

Miss

Trotwood

,

’

said

Traddles

,

‘

that

property

of

yours

.
