we might know our hope to be restored in Heaven� �

    But   of   all  the  various    times   there    were   in  Charley¨s     illness�察�

there was not one when she lost the gentle qualities I have spoken 

of。 And there were many�察�many�察�when I thought in the night of the 

last high belief in the watching Angel�察�and the last higher trust in 

God�察�on the part of her poor despised father。 

    And Charley did not die。 She flutteringly and slowly turned the 

dangerous   point�察  �after   long   lingering   there�察       �and   then   began    to 

mend。      The   hope    that   never   had    been    given�察  �from   the   first�察 �of 

Charley   being   in     outward      appearance      Charley   any   more�察     �soon 

began to be encouraged�察�and even that prospered�察�and I saw  her 

growing into her old childish likeness again。 

    It   was   a   great   morning�察  �when   I   could   tell   Ada   all   this   as   she 

stood out in the garden�察�and it was a great evening when Charley 

and I at last took tea together in the next room。 But�察�on that same 

evening�察�I felt that I was stricken cold。 

    Happily for both of us�察�it was not until Charley was safe in bed 

again   and placidly  asleep�察  �that  I   began   to   think   the   contagion   of 

her illness was upon me。 I had been able easily to hide what I had 

felt at tea´time�察�but I was past that already now�察�and I knew that I 

was rapidly following in Charley¨s steps。 

    I was well enough�察�however�察�to be up early in the morning�察�and 

to  return   my  darling¨s   cheerful   blessing   from   the   garden�察  �and   to 

talk    with   her   as   long   as   usual。   But    I  was   not   free   from    an 

impression   that   I   had   been   walking   about   the   two   rooms   in   the 

night�察  �a   little   beside   myself�察  �though   knowing   where   I   was�察  �and   I 

felt confused at times!with a curious sense of fulness�察�as if I were 

becoming too large altogether。 

    In the evening I was so much worse that I resolved to prepare

Charley�察    �with   which   view�察    �I  said�察  �You¨re    getting    quite   strong�察�

Charley�察�are you not�拭院�

    ^O quite� 院�said Charley。 

    ^Strong enough to be told a secret�察�I think�察�Charley�拭院�

    ^Quite     strong    enough      for   that�察 �miss� 院    �cried   Charley。     But 

Charley¨s   face   fell   in   the   height   of   her   delight�察  �for   she   saw   the 

secret   in  my   face�察  �and   she   came   out   of   the   great   chair�察  �and   fell 

upon my bosom�察�and said ^O miss�察�it¨s my doing� �It¨s my  doing� 院�

and a great deal more�察�out of the fulness of her grateful heart。 

    ^Now�察�Charley�察院�said I�察�after letting her go on for a little while�察�

^if I am to be ill�察�my great trust�察�humanly speaking�察�is in you。 And 

unless you are as quiet and composed for me�察�as you always were 

for yourself�察�you can never fulfil it�察�Charley。 ̄ 

    ^If you¨ll let me cry  a  little longer�察�miss�察院  �said   Charley。   ^O my 

dear�察   �my    dear�   �if  you¨ll  only   let  me   cry   a  little  longer�察  �O   my 

dear� 院�how  affectionately  and  devotedly  she poured   this   out�察  �as 

she clung to my neck�察  �I never  can   remember  without  tears!^I¨ll 

be good。 ̄ 

    So I let Charley cry a little longer�察�and it did us both good。 

    ^Trust in me now�察�if you please�察�miss�察院�said Charley�察�quietly。 ^I 

am listening to everything you say。 ̄ 

    ^It   is  very   little  at   present�察 �Charley。    I  shall  tell  your   doctor 

tonight   that   I   don¨t   think   I   am   well�察  �and   that   you   are   going   to 

nurse me。 ̄ 

    For that the poor child thanked me with her whole heart。 

    ^And in the morning�察�when you hear Miss Ada in the garden�察�if 

I should not be quite able to go to the window´curtain as usual�察�do 

you   go�察  �Charley�察  �and   say   I   am   asleep!that   I   have   rather   tired 

myself�察�and am asleep。 At all times keep the room as I have kept it�察�

Charley�察�and let no one come。 ̄ 

    Charley promised�察�and I lay down�察�for I was very heavy。 I saw 

the doctor that night�察�and asked the favour of him that I wished to 

ask�察�relative to his saying nothing of my illness in the house as yet。 

I   have   a   very   indistinct   remembrance   of   that   night   melting   into 

day�察�and of day melting into night again�察�but I was just able�察�on the 

first morning�察�to get to the window�察�and speak to my darling。 

    On   the   second   morning   I   heard   her   dear   voice!O   how   dear 

now� �outside�察�and I asked  Charley�察  �with  some   difficulty  ��speech 

being   painful   to   me���察   �to   go   and  say   I  was   asleep。  I  heard   her 

answer softly�察 �Don¨t disturb her�察�Charley�察�for the world� 院�

    ^How does my own Pride look�察�Charley�拭院�I inquired。 

    ^Disappointed�察       �miss�察院   �said   Charley�察    �peeping      through     the 

curtain。 

    ^But I know she is very beautiful this morning。 ̄ 

    ^She is indeed�察�miss�察院�answered Charley�察�peeping。 ^Still looking 

up at the window。 ̄ 

    With her blue clear eyes�察�God bless them�察�always loveliest when 

raised like that� �

    I called Charley to me�察�and gave her her last charge。 

    ^Now�察  �Charley�察  �when she   knows   I   am   ill�察  �she   will   try  to   make 

her way into the room。 Keep her out�察�Charley�察�if you love me truly�察�

to the last� �Charley�察�if you let her in but once�察�only to look upon me 

for one moment as I lie here�察�I shall die。 ̄ 

    ^I never will� �I never will� 院�she promised me。 

    ^I believe it�察�my dear Charley。 And now come and sit beside me 

for a little while�察�and touch me with your hand。 For I   cannot  see 

you�察�Charley�察�I am blind。 ̄

nothing�察�the gates are shut�察�and the night´porter�察�a solemn warder 

with a mighty power of sleep�察�keeps guard in his lodge。 From tiers 

of   staircase    windows�察     �clogged     lamps     like  the   eyes   of   Equity�察�

wise draughtsman and conveyancer yet toils for the entanglement 

of real estate in meshes of sheepskin�察�in the average ratio of about 

a dozen of sheep to an acre of land。 Over which bee´like industry�察�

these   benefactors   of   their   species   linger   yet�察  �though   office´hours

Perkins have but now exchanged congratulations on the children

words。 Mr Krook and his lodger�察�and the fact of Mr Krook¨s being
