I
have
heard
her
say
that
she
thought
her
mother
did
not
know
the
reason
of
her
running
away
.
She
said
‘
poor
mother
’
in
a
pitying
tone
.
"
"
That
mother
became
my
wife
,
"
said
Bulstrode
,
and
then
paused
a
moment
before
he
added
,
"
you
have
a
claim
on
me
,
Mr
.
Ladislaw
:
as
I
said
before
,
not
a
legal
claim
,
but
one
which
my
conscience
recognizes
.
I
was
enriched
by
that
marriage
—
a
result
which
would
probably
not
have
taken
place
—
certainly
not
to
the
same
extent
—
if
your
grandmother
could
have
discovered
her
daughter
.
That
daughter
,
I
gather
,
is
no
longer
living
!
"
"
No
,
"
said
Will
,
feeling
suspicion
and
repugnance
rising
so
strongly
within
him
,
that
without
quite
knowing
what
he
did
,
he
took
his
hat
from
the
floor
and
stood
up
.
The
impulse
within
him
was
to
reject
the
disclosed
connection
.
"
Pray
be
seated
,
Mr
.
Ladislaw
,
"
said
Bulstrode
,
anxiously
.
"
Doubtless
you
are
startled
by
the
suddenness
of
this
discovery
.
But
I
entreat
your
patience
with
one
who
is
already
bowed
down
by
inward
trial
.
"
Will
reseated
himself
,
feeling
some
pity
which
was
half
contempt
for
this
voluntary
self
-
abasement
of
an
elderly
man
.
"
It
is
my
wish
,
Mr
.
Ladislaw
,
to
make
amends
for
the
deprivation
which
befell
your
mother
.
I
know
that
you
are
without
fortune
,
and
I
wish
to
supply
you
adequately
from
a
store
which
would
have
probably
already
been
yours
had
your
grandmother
been
certain
of
your
mother
’
s
existence
and
been
able
to
find
her
.
"
Mr
.
Bulstrode
paused
.
He
felt
that
he
was
performing
a
striking
piece
of
scrupulosity
in
the
judgment
of
his
auditor
,
and
a
penitential
act
in
the
eyes
of
God
.
He
had
no
clew
to
the
state
of
Will
Ladislaw
’
s
mind
,
smarting
as
it
was
from
the
clear
hints
of
Raffles
,
and
with
its
natural
quickness
in
construction
stimulated
by
the
expectation
of
discoveries
which
he
would
have
been
glad
to
conjure
back
into
darkness
.
Will
made
no
answer
for
several
moments
,
till
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
who
at
the
end
of
his
speech
had
cast
his
eyes
on
the
floor
,
now
raised
them
with
an
examining
glance
,
which
Will
met
fully
,
saying
—
"
I
suppose
you
did
know
of
my
mother
’
s
existence
,
and
knew
where
she
might
have
been
found
.
"
Bulstrode
shrank
—
there
was
a
visible
quivering
in
his
face
and
hands
.
