Yes

Will

you

oblige

me

by

confiding

it

?

'

Mr.

Harthouse

,

'

returned

Sissy

,

with

a

blending

of

gentleness

and

steadiness

that

quite

defeated

him

,

and

with

a

simple

confidence

in

his

being

bound

to

do

what

she

required

,

that

held

him

at

a

singular

disadvantage

,

'

the

only

reparation

that

remains

with

you

,

is

to

leave

here

immediately

and

finally

.

I

am

quite

sure

that

you

can

mitigate

in

no

other

way

the

wrong

and

harm

you

have

done

.

I

am

quite

sure

that

it

is

the

only

compensation

you

have

left

it

in

your

power

to

make

.

I

do

not

say

that

it

is

much

,

or

that

it

is

enough

;

but

it

is

something

,

and

it

is

necessary

.

Therefore

,

though

without

any

other

authority

than

I

have

given

you

,

and

even

without

the

knowledge

of

any

other

person

than

yourself

and

myself

,

I

ask

you

to

depart

from

this

place

to-night

,

under

an

obligation

never

to

return

to

it

.

'

If

she

had

asserted

any

influence

over

him

beyond

her

plain

faith

in

the

truth

and

right

of

what

she

said

;

if

she

had

concealed

the

least

doubt

or

irresolution

,

or

had

harboured

for

the

best

purpose

any

reserve

or

pretence

;

if

she

had

shown

,

or

felt

,

the

lightest

trace

of

any

sensitiveness

to

his

ridicule

or

his

astonishment

,

or

any

remonstrance

he

might

offer

;

he

would

have

carried

it

against

her

at

this

point

.

But

he

could

as

easily

have

changed

a

clear

sky

by

looking

at

it

in

surprise

,

as

affect

her

.

'

But

do

you

know

,

'

he

asked

,

quite

at

a

loss

,

'

the

extent

of

what

you

ask

?

You

probably

are

not

aware

that

I

am

here

on

a

public

kind

of

business

,

preposterous

enough

in

itself

,

but

which

I

have

gone

in

for

,

and

sworn

by

,

and

am

supposed

to

be

devoted

to

in

quite

a

desperate

manner

?

You

probably

are

not

aware

of

that

,

but

I

assure

you

it

's

the

fact

.

'

It

had

no

effect

on

Sissy

,

fact

or

no

fact

.

Besides

which

,

'

said

Mr.

Harthouse

,

taking

a

turn

or

two

across

the

room

,

dubiously

,

'

it

's

so

alarmingly

absurd

.

It

would

make

a

man

so

ridiculous

,

after

going

in

for

these

fellows

,

to

back

out

in

such

an

incomprehensible

way

.

'

'

I

am

quite

sure

,

'

repeated

Sissy

,

'

that

it

is

the

only

reparation

in

your

power

,

sir

.

I

am

quite

sure

,

or

I

would

not

have

come

here

.
