He
was
totally
unprepared
to
have
his
advances
met
in
this
way
,
or
to
find
himself
urged
into
more
revelation
than
he
had
beforehand
set
down
as
needful
.
But
at
that
moment
he
dared
not
tell
a
lie
,
and
he
felt
suddenly
uncertain
of
his
ground
which
he
had
trodden
with
some
confidence
before
.
"
I
will
not
deny
that
you
conjecture
rightly
,
"
he
answered
,
with
a
faltering
in
his
tone
.
"
And
I
wish
to
make
atonement
to
you
as
the
one
still
remaining
who
has
suffered
a
loss
through
me
.
You
enter
,
I
trust
,
into
my
purpose
,
Mr
.
Ladislaw
,
which
has
a
reference
to
higher
than
merely
human
claims
,
and
as
I
have
already
said
,
is
entirely
independent
of
any
legal
compulsion
.
I
am
ready
to
narrow
my
own
resources
and
the
prospects
of
my
family
by
binding
myself
to
allow
you
five
hundred
pounds
yearly
during
my
life
,
and
to
leave
you
a
proportional
capital
at
my
death
—
nay
,
to
do
still
more
,
if
more
should
be
definitely
necessary
to
any
laudable
project
on
your
part
.
"
Mr
.
Bulstrode
had
gone
on
to
particulars
in
the
expectation
that
these
would
work
strongly
on
Ladislaw
,
and
merge
other
feelings
in
grateful
acceptance
.
But
Will
was
looking
as
stubborn
as
possible
,
with
his
lip
pouting
and
his
fingers
in
his
side
-
pockets
.
He
was
not
in
the
least
touched
,
and
said
firmly
—
"
Before
I
make
any
reply
to
your
proposition
,
Mr
.
Bulstrode
,
I
must
beg
you
to
answer
a
question
or
two
.
Were
you
connected
with
the
business
by
which
that
fortune
you
speak
of
was
originally
made
?
"
Mr
.
Bulstrode
’
s
thought
was
,
"
Raffles
has
told
him
.
"
How
could
he
refuse
to
answer
when
he
had
volunteered
what
drew
forth
the
question
?
He
answered
,
"
Yes
.
"
"
And
was
that
business
—
or
was
it
not
—
a
thoroughly
dishonorable
one
—
nay
,
one
that
,
if
its
nature
had
been
made
public
,
might
have
ranked
those
concerned
in
it
with
thieves
and
convicts
?
"
Will
’
s
tone
had
a
cutting
bitterness
:
he
was
moved
to
put
his
question
as
nakedly
as
he
could
.
Bulstrode
reddened
with
irrepressible
anger
.
He
had
been
prepared
for
a
scene
of
self
-
abasement
,
but
his
intense
pride
and
his
habit
of
supremacy
overpowered
penitence
,
and
even
dread
,
when
this
young
man
,
whom
he
had
meant
to
benefit
,
turned
on
him
with
the
air
of
a
judge
.
"
The
business
was
established
before
I
became
connected
with
it
,
sir
;
nor
is
it
for
you
to
institute
an
inquiry
of
that
kind
,
"
he
answered
,
not
raising
his
voice
,
but
speaking
with
quick
defiantness
.
