we must be bought off。 But you know that�察�as well as I�察�so where is 

the use of talking�拭� 

    She still walked wildly to and fro。 At length�察�stopping abruptly 

before him�察�she said�此�

    `Is he near here�拭� 

    `He is。 Close at hand。¨ 

    `Then I am lost� � 

    `Not lost�察�widow�察� said the blind man�察�calmly�察 �only found。 Shall 

I call him�拭� 

    `Not for the world�察� she answered�察�with a shudder。 

    `Very good�察� he replied�察�crossing his legs again�察�for he had made 

as   though   he   would   rise   and   walk   to   the   door。   `As   you   please�察�

widow。 His presence is not necessary that I know of。 But both he 

and I must live�察�to live�察�we must eat and drink�察�to eat and drink�察�we 

must have money�此�I say no more。¨ 

    `Do you know how pinched and destitute I am�拭� she retorted。 `I 

do not think you do�察�or can。 If you had eyes�察�and could look around 

you  on   this   poor  place�察  �you  would   have pity  on   me。   Oh�  �let   your 

heart   be   softened   by   your   own   affliction�察  �friend�察  �and   have   some 

sympathy with mine。¨ 

    The blind man snapped his fingers as he answered�此�

softest    heart    in  the   world�察   �but   I  can¨t   live   upon    it。  Many    a 

gentleman lives well upon a soft head�察�who would find a heart of 

the   same   quality   a   very   great   drawback。   Listen   to   me。   This   is   a 

matter   of   business�察  �with   which   sympathies   and   sentiments   have 

nothing      to  do。  As   a  mutual     friend�察  �I  wish    to  arrange     it  in  a 

satisfactory manner�察�if possible�察�and thus the case stands。!If you 

are very poor now�察�it¨s your own choice。 You have friends who�察�in 

case of need�察�are always ready to help you。 My friend is in a more 

destitute   and   desolate situation  than most  men�察  �and�察  �you  and   he 

being   linked   together   in   a   common   cause�察  �he   naturally   looks   to 

you to assist him。 He has boarded and lodged with me a long time 

��for as I said just now�察�I am very soft´hearted���察�and I quite approve 

of his entertaining this opinion。 You have always had a roof over 

your head�察�he has   always been  an   outcast。   You  have  your  son   to 

comfort and assist you�察�he has nobody at all。 The advantages must 

not be all one side。 You are in the same boat�察�and we must divide 

the ballast a little more equally。¨ 

    She was about to speak�察�but he checked her�察�and went on。 

    `The only way of doing this�察�is by making up a little purse now 

and then for my friend�察�and that¨s what I advise。 He bears you no 

malice   that   I   know   of�察  �ma¨am�此  �so   little�察  �that   although   you   have 

treated   him   harshly  more   than   once�察�and   driven   him�察  �I   may   say�察�

out of doors�察�he has that regard for you that I believe even if you 

disappointed   him   now�察  �he   would   consent   to   take   charge   of   your 

son�察�and to make a man of him。¨ 

    He laid a great stress on these latter words�察�and paused as if to 

find out what effect they had produced。 She only answered by her 

tears。 

    `He is a likely lad�察� said the blind man�察�thoughtfully�察 �for many

purposes�察�and not ill´disposed to try his fortune in a little change 

and bustle�察�if I may judge from what I heard of his talk with you to´ 

night。!Come。         In  a   word�察  �my   friend    has   pressing   necessity     for 

twenty pounds。 You�察�who can give up an annuity�察�can get that sum 

for   him。    It¨s  a  pity   you    should    be   troubled。     You    seem    very 

comfortable here�察�and it¨s worth that much to remain so。 Twenty 

pounds�察�widow�察�is a moderate demand。 You know where to apply 

for it�察�a post will bring it you。!Twenty pounds� � 

    She was about to answer him again�察�but again he stopped her。 

    `Don¨t say anything hastily�察�you might be sorry for it。 Think of it 

a   little  while。   Twenty      pounds!of       other    people¨s    money!how 

easy� �Turn it over in your mind。 I¨m in no hurry。   Night¨s   coming 

on�察  �and   if   I   don¨t   sleep   here�察  �I   shall   not   go   far。   Twenty   pounds� �

Consider      of  it�察 �ma¨am�察   �for  twenty     minutes�察   �give   each   pound     a 

minute�察�that¨s a fair allowance。 I¨ll enjoy the air the while�察�which is 

very mild and pleasant in these parts。¨ 

    With  these   words   he   groped   his   way   to   the   door�察  �carrying   his 

chair     with    him。    Then      seating    himself�察    �under     a   spreading 

honeysuckle�察  �and stretching  his legs across   the   threshold   so   that 

no   person   could   pass   in   or   out   without   his   knowledge�察  �he   took 

from   his   pocket   a   pipe�察  �flint�察  �steel   and   tinder´box�察  �and   began   to 

smoke。 It was a lovely evening�察�of that gentle kind�察�and at that time 

of year�察�when the twilight is most beautiful。 Pausing now and then 

to let his smoke curl slowly off�察�and to sniff the grateful fragrance 

of the flowers�察�he sat there at his ease!as though the cottage were 

his proper dwelling�察�and he had held   undisputed possession  of  it 

all   his   life!waiting     for  the   widow¨s    answer   and      for  Barnaby¨s 

return。

              hen Barnaby returned with  the   bread�察  �the   sight  of  the 

Wpious old pilgrim smoking his pipe and making himself 

              so thoroughly at home�察�appeared to surprise even him�察�

the more so�察�as that worthy person�察�instead of putting up the loaf 

in his wallet as a scarce and precious article�察�tossed it carelessly on 

the table�察�and producing his bottle�察�bade him sit down and drink。 

    `For   I   carry   some   comfort�察  �you   see�察�   he   said。   `Taste   that。   Is   it 

good�拭� 

    The   water   stood     in  Barnaby¨s     eyes   as   he   coughed    from    the 

strength of the draught�察�and answered in the affirmative。 

    `Drink   some   more�察�   said   the   blind   man�察   �don¨t   be   afraid   of   it。 

You don¨t taste anything like that�察�often�察�eh�拭� 

    `Often� � cried Barnaby。 `Never� � 

    `Too poor�拭� returned the blind man with a sigh。 `Ay。 That¨s bad。 

Your     mother�察    �poor   soul�察  �would    be   happier    if  she   was   richer�察�

Barnaby。¨ 

    `Why�察  �so   I   tell   her!the   very   thing   I   told   her   just   before   you 

came   to´night�察  �when   all   that   gold   was   in   the   sky�察�   said   Barnaby�察�

drawing  his   chair  nearer  to  him�察  �and looking  eagerly  in   his   face。 

`Tell me。 Is there any way of being rich�察�that I could find out�拭� 

    `Any way� �A hundred ways。¨ 

    `Ay�察  �ay�拭�   he   returned。   `Do   you   say   so�拭  �What   are   they�拭�Nay�察�

mother�察�it¨s for your sake I ask�察�not mine�察�for yours�察�indeed。 What 

are they�拭� 

    The blind man turned his   face�察  �on   which  there   was   a smile   of 

triumph�察     �to   where     the   widow      stood    in   great   distress�察   �and 

answered�察�

    `Why�察�they are not to be   found   out by  stay´at´homes�察  �my  good 

friend。¨ 

    `By stay´at´homes� � cried Barnaby�察�plucking at his sleeve。 `But I 

am not one。 Now�察�there you mistake。 I am often out before the sun�察�

and travel home when he has gone to rest。 I am away in the woods 

before the day has reached the shady places�察�and am   often   there 

when the bright moon is peeping through the boughs�察�and looking 

down upon the other moon that lives in the water。 As I walk along�察�

I try to find�察�among the grass and moss�察�some of that small money 

for which she works so hard and used to shed so many tears。 As I 

lie   asleep   in   the   shade�察  �I   dream   of   it!dream   of   digging   it   up   in 

heaps�察    �and   spying    it  out�察 �hidden    under     bushes�察   �and   seeing    it 

sparkle�察�as the dew´drops do�察�among the leaves。 But I never find it。 

Tell me where it is。 I¨d go there�察�if the journey were a whole year 

long�察�because I know she would be happier when I came home and 

brought some with me。 Speak again。 I¨ll listen to you if you talk all 

night。¨ 

    The   blind   man   passed   his   hand   lightly   over   the   poor   fellow¨s 

face�察�and   finding  that  his   elbows   were   planted   on   the   table�察  �that 

his chin rested on his two hands�察�that he leaned eagerly forward�察�

and   that   his   whole    manner      expressed     the   utmost   interest    and 

anxiety�察  �paused   for   a   minute   as   though   he   desired   the   widow   to 

observe this fully�察�and then made answer�此�

    `It¨s in the world�察�bold Barnaby�察�the merry world�察�not in solitary 

places like those you pass your time in�察�but in crowds�察�and where 

there¨s noise and rattle。¨ 

    `Good�   �good� �   cried   Barnaby�察  �rubbing   his   hands。   `Yes�   �I   love 

that。 Grip loves it too。 It suits us both。 That¨s brave� � 

    `!The kind of places�察� said the blind man�察 �that a young fellow
