    Is   this   Lady     Dedlock     standing     beside     the   village   beauty�察�

her with eyes so full of musing interest�拭�Aye�察�indeed it is� �

    ^Listen to me�察�child。 You are young and true�察�and I believe you 

are attached to me。 ̄ 

    ^Indeed I am�察�my Lady。 Indeed there is nothing in the world I 

wouldn¨t do�察�to show how much。 ̄ 

    ^And I don¨t think   you  would   wish  to  leave   me   just  yet�察  �Rosa�察�

even for a lover。 ̄ 

    ^No�察  �my   Lady�   �O   no� 院  �Rosa   looks   up   for   the   first   time�察  �quite 

frightened at the thought。 

    ^Confide in me�察�my child。 Don¨t fear me。 I wish you to be happy�察�

and will make you so!if I can make anybody happy on this earth。 ̄ 

    Rosa�察�with fresh tears�察�kneels  at  her  feet  and kisses   her  hand。 

My     Lady    takes    the   hand    with    which     she   has   caught     it�察 �and�察�

standing  with  her  eyes   fixed  on   the   fire�察  �puts it  about  and   about 

between her own two hands�察�and gradually lets it fall。 Seeing her 

so absorbed�察�Rosa softly withdraws�察�but still my Lady¨s eyes are on 

the fire。 

    In   search   of   what�拭  �Of   any   hand   that   is   no  more�察  �of   any   hand 

that  never  was�察  �of   any   touch   that   might   have   magically   changed 

her  life�拭 �Or   does   she   listen   to   the   Ghost¨s   Walk�察  �and   think   what 

step does it most resemble�拭�A man¨s�拭�A woman¨s�拭�The pattering 

of   a   little   child¨s   feet�察  �ever   coming   on´on´on�拭  �Some   melancholy 

influence   is   upon   her�察  �or   why   should   so   proud   a   lady   close   the 

doors�察�and sit alone upon the hearth so desolate�拭�

    Volumnia   is   away   next   day�察  �and   all   the   cousins   are   scattered 

before   dinner。   Not   a   cousin   of   the   batch   but   is   amazed   to   hear 

from     Sir   Leicester�察    �at   breakfast     time�察   �of   the   obliteration     of 

landmarks�察       �and    opening      of   floodgates�察    �and    cracking      of   the 

framework   of  society�察  �manifested   through  Mrs   Rouncewell¨s   son。

Not a cousin of the batch but is really  indignant�察  �and  connects it 

with   the   feebleness   of   William   Buffy   when   in   office�察  �and   really 

does feel deprived of a stake in the country!or the pension list! 

or something!by fraud and wrong。 As to Volumnia�察�she is handed 

down   the   great   staircase   by   Sir   Leicester�察  �as   eloquent   upon   the 

theme�察�as if there were a general rising in the North of England to 

obtain her rouge´pot and pearl necklace。 And thus�察�with a clatter 

of maids and valets!for it is one appurtenance of their cousinship�察�

that   however   difficult   they   may   find   it   to   keep   themselves�察  �they 

must     keep    maids    and   valets!the       cousins    disperse    to   the  four 

winds of heaven�察�and the one wintry wind that blows today shakes 

a   shower   from   the     trees   near   the   deserted     house�察   �as   if  all   the 

cousins had been changed into leaves。

         hesney     Wold    is  shut   up�察 �carpets   are   rolled  into   great 

         scrolls    in  corners   of  comfortless    rooms�察   �bright   damask 

 C 

         does penance in brown   holland�察�carving and   gilding  puts 

on mortification�察�and the Dedlock ancestors retire from the light of 

day again。 Around and around the house the leaves fall thick!but 

never fast�察�for they come circling down with a dead lightness that 

is sombre and slow。 Let the gardener sweep and sweep the turf as 

he will�察�and press the leaves into full barrows�察�and wheel them off�察�

still   they   lie  ankle´deep。  Howls    the  shrill  wind   round    Chesney 

Wold�察�the sharp rain beats�察�the windows rattle�察�and the chimneys 

growl。 Mists hide in the avenues�察�veil the points of view�察�and move 

in funeral wise across the rising grounds。 On all the house there is 

a   cold�察  �blank  smell�察 �like  the   smell  of  the  little  church�察  �though 

something   dryer�此  �suggesting   that   the   dead   and   buried   Dedlocks 

walk there�察�in the long nights�察�and leave the flavour of their graves 

behind them。 

   But   the   house   in   town�察  �which   is   rarely   in   the   same   mind   as 

Chesney Wold at the same time�察�seldom rejoicing when it rejoices�察�

or mourning when it mourns�察�excepting when a Dedlock dies�察�the 

house   in   town   shines   out   awakened。   As   warm   and   bright   as   so 

much state   may  be�察 �as  delicately  redolent  of  pleasant  scents  that 

bear no trace of winter as hothouse flowers can make it�察�soft and 

hushed�察�so that the ticking of the clocks and the crisp burning of 

the fires alone disturb the stillness in the rooms�察�it seems to wrap

those   chilled   bones   of   Sir   Leicester¨s   in   rainbow´coloured   wool。 

And Sir Leicester is glad to repose in dignified contentment before 

the great fire in the library�察�condescendingly perusing the backs of 

his books�察�or honouring the fine arts with a glance of approbation。 

For he has his pictures�察�ancient and modern。 Some�察�of the Fancy 

Ball   School   in   which   Art   occasionally   condescends   to   become   a 

master�察  �which   would   be   best   catalogued   like   the   miscellaneous 

articles in a sale。 As�察 �Three high´backed chairs�察�a table and cover�察�

long´necked        bottle   ��containing      wine���察   �one    flask�察  �one   Spanish 

female¨s     costume�察     �three´quarter      face   portrait   of  Miss    Jogg    the 

model�察  �and   a   suit   of   armour   containing   Don   Quixote。 ̄   Or�察   �One 

stone     terrace   ��cracked���察    �one   gondola   in   distance�察    �one   Venetian 

senator¨s dress complete�察�richly embroidered white satin costume 

with profile portrait of Miss Jogg the model�察�one scimeter superbly 

mounted   in   gold   with   jewelled   handle�察  �elaborate   Moorish   dress 

��very rare���察�and Othello。 ̄ 

    Mr Tulkinghorn comes and goes pretty often�察�there being estate 

business to do�察�leases to be renewed�察�and so on。 He sees my Lady 

pretty     often�察  �too�察  �and    he   and    she   are   as   composed�察     �and    as 

indifferent�察�and   take as little   heed   of   one   another�察  �as   ever。   Yet  it 

may   be     that   my   Lady    fears   this  Mr    Tulkinghorn�察      �and   that   he 

knows   it。   It   may   be   that   he   pursues   her   doggedly   and   steadily�察�

with no touch of compunction�察�remorse�察�or pity。 It may be that her 

beauty�察�and all the state and brilliancy surrounding her�察�only gives 

him the greater zest for what he is   set  upon�察  �and makes   him   the 

more      inflexible   in   it。  Whether     he   be  cold   and    cruel�察  �whether 

immovable   in   what   he   has   made   his   duty�察  �whether   absorbed   in 

love  of  power�察  �whether  determined   to  have  nothing   hidden   from 

him in ground where he has burrowed among secrets all his  life�察�

whether   he   in   his   heart   despises   the   splendour   of   which   he   is   a 

distant     beam�察    �whether      he   is  always    treasuring      up   slights    and 

offences   in   the   affability   of   his   gorgeous   clients!whether   he   be 

any of this�察�or all of this�察�it may be that my Lady had better have 

five   thousand   pairs   of   fashionable   eyes   upon   her�察  �in   distrustful 

vigilance�察�than the two eyes of this rusty lawyer�察�with his wisp of 

neckcloth   and   his   dull   black   breeches   tied   with   ribbons   at   the 

knees。 

    Sir  Leicester   sits   in   my   Lady¨s   room!that   room   in   which   Mr 

Tulkinghorn         read     the   affidavit     in   Jarndyce      and     Jarndyce! 

particularly complacent。 My Lady!as on that day!sits before the 

fire   with    her   screen     in  her   hand。     Sir  Leicester     is  particularly 

complacent�察        �because      he   has    found     in   his    newspaper        some 

congenial       remarks      bearing     directly    on   the   floodgates      and   the 

framework of society。 They apply so happily to the late case�察�that 

Sir    Leicester     has    come     from    the   library    to   my    Lady¨s     room 

expressly  to  read  them   aloud。   ^The man   who  wrote   this   article�察院�

mind。 ̄ 

    The   man¨s   mind   is  not  so  well balanced  but  that  he   bores   my 

Lady�察  �who�察     �after   a  languid     effort   to   listen�察 �or   rather   a   languid 

resignation   of  herself  to  a show  of  listening�察  �becomes   distraught�察�
