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。 ̄

Chapter 32
The Appointed Time
t is night in Lincoln¨s Inn!perplexed and troublous valley of
the shadow of the law�察�where suitors generally find but little
Iday!and fat candles are snuffed out in offices�察 �and clerks
have rattled down the crazy wooden stairs�察�and dispersed。 The bell
that rings at nine o¨clock�察 �has ceased its doleful clangour about
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�
bleared Argus with a fathomless pocket for every eye and an eye
upon it�察 �dimly blink at the stars。 In dirty upper casements�察 �here
and there�察 �hazy little patches of candlelight reveal where some
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
be past�此�that they may give�察 �for every day�察 �some good account at
last。
In the neighbouring court�察 �where the Lord Chancellor of the
Rag and Bottle shop dwells�察 �there is a general tendency towards
beer and supper。 Mrs Piper and Mrs Perkins�察 �whose respective
sons�察 �engaged with a circle of acquaintance in the game of hide
and seek�察 �have been lying in ambush about the by´ways of
Chancery Lane for some hours�察�and scouring the plain of the same
thoroughfare to the confusion of passengers!Mrs Piper and Mrs

Perkins have but now exchanged congratulations on the children
being abed�察�and they still linger on a doorstep over a few parting
words。 Mr Krook and his lodger�察�and the fact of Mr Krook¨s being
^continually in liquor�察院 �and the testamentary prospects of the
young man are�察�as usual�察�the staple of their conversation。 But they
have something to say�察 �likewise�察 �of the Harmonic Meeting at the
Sol¨s Arms�察 �where the sound of the piano through the partly´
opened windows jingles out into the court�察�and where little Swills�察�
after keeping the lovers of harmony in a roar like a very Yorick�察�
may now be heard taking the gruff line in a concerted piece�察�and
sentimentally adjuring his friends and patrons to Listen�察 �listen�察�
listen�察 �Tew the wa´ter´Fall� �Mrs Perkins and Mrs Piper compare
opinions on the subject of the young lady of professional celebrity
who assists at the Harmonic Meetings�察 �and who has a space to
herself in the manuscript announcement in the window�察 �Mrs
Perkins possessing information that she has been married a year
and a half�察 �though announced as Miss M。 Melvilleson�察 �the noted
syren�察 �and that her baby is clandestinely conveyed to the Sol¨s
Arms every night to receive its natural nourishment during the
entertainments。 ^Sooner than which�察�myself�察院�says Mrs Perkins�察 �I
would get my liv
