         harley and I did not set off alone upon our expedition into 

         Lincolnshire。 My  Guardian   had made   up   his  mind  not  to 

 C 

         lose sight of me until I was safe in Mr Boythorn¨s house�察�so 

he accompanied us�察�and we were two days upon the road。 I found 

every breath of air�察�and every scent�察�and every flower and leaf and 

blade of grass�察�and every passing cloud�察�and everything in nature�察�

more beautiful and wonderful to me than I had ever found it yet。 

This was my first gain from my illness。 How little I had lost�察�when 

the wide world was so full of delight for me。 

   My Guardian intending to go back immediately�察�we appointed�察�

on our way down�察�a day when my dear girl should come。 I wrote 

her a letter�察�of which he took charge�察�and he left us within half an 

hour  of  our  arrival   at   our   destination�察  �on   a   delightful   evening   in 

the early summer time。 

   If  a   good   fairy   had   built   the   house   for   me   with   a   wave   of   her 

wand�察  �and   I   had   been   a   princess   and   her   favoured   godchild�察  �I 

could not have been more considered in it。 So many preparations 

were    made    for  me�察  �and   such   an  endearing     remembrance       was 

shown of all my little tastes and likings�察�that I could have sat down�察�

overcome�察�a dozen times�察�before I had revisited   half  the   rooms。   I 

did   better   than   that�察  �however�察  �by   showing   them    all   to   Charley 

instead。   Charley¨s   delight   calmed   mine�察  �and   after   we   had   had   a 

walk     in  the  garden�察   �and    Charley    had    exhausted     her   whole 

vocabulary of admiring expressions�察�I was as tranquilly happy as I

ought   to   have   been。   It   was   a   great   comfort   to   be   able   to   say   to 

myself after tea�察 �Esther�察  �my  dear�察  �I   think   you  are   quite   sensible 

enough to sit down now�察�and write a note of thanks to your host。 ̄ 

He  had left  a note  of  welcome  for  me�察 �as  sunny   as   his   own   face�察�

and   had   confided   his   bird   to   my   care�察  �which   I   knew   to   be   his 

highest   mark   of   confidence。   Accordingly   I   wrote   a   little   note   to 

him in London�察�telling him how all his favourite plants and trees 

were looking�察�and how the most astonishing of birds had chirped 

the   honours   of   the   house   to   me   in   the   most   hospitable   manner�察�

and     how�察   �after   singing     on   my    shoulder�察     �to  the   inconceivable 

rapture of my little maid�察�he was then at roost in the usual corner 

of   his   cage�察  �but   whether   dreaming   or   no   I   could   not   report。   My 

note finished and sent off to the post�察�I made myself very busy in 

unpacking and arranging�察�and I sent Charley to bed in good time�察�

and told her I should want her no more that night。 

    For  I   had not  yet  looked in   the   glass�察  �and   had   never   asked   to 

have my own restored to me。 I knew this to be a weakness which 

must   be   overcome�察  �but   I   had   always   said   to   myself  that   I   would 

begin   afresh�察  �when   I   got   to   where   I   now   was。   Therefore   I   had 

wanted   to   be   alone�察  �and   therefore   I   said�察  �now   alone   in   my   own 

room�察 �Esther�察�if you are to be happy�察�if you are to have any right 

to pray to be true´hearted�察�you must keep your word�察�my dear。 ̄ I 

was quite resolved to keep it�察�but I sat down for a little while first�察�

to reflect upon all my blessings。 And then I said my prayers�察�and 

thought a little more。 

    My   hair   had   not   been   cut   off�察  �though   it   had   been   in   danger 

more than once。 It was long and thick。 I let it down�察�and shook it 

out�察�and went up to the glass upon the dressing´table。 There was a 

little muslin curtain drawn across it。 I drew it back�此�and stood for a

moment looking through such a veil of my own air�察�that I could see 

nothing else。 Then I put my hair aside�察�and looked at the reflection 

in the mirror�察�encouraged by seeing how placidly it looked at me。 I 

was very much changed!O very�察�very much。 At first�察�my face was 

so strange to me�察�that I think I should have put my hands before it 

and   started   back�察  �but   for   the   encouragement   I   have   mentioned。 

Very soon it became more familiar�察�and then I knew the extent of 

the alteration in it better than I had done at  first。   It  was not  like 

what   I   had   expected�察  �but   I   had   expected   nothing   definite�察  �and   I 

dare say anything definite would have surprised me。 

    I had never been a beauty and had never  thought  myself  one�察�

but    I  had   been    very   different   from    this。  It  was   all  gone    now。 

Heaven   was   so   good   to   me�察  �that   I   could   let   it   go   with   a   few   not 

bitter tears�察�and could stand there arranging my hair for the night 

quite thankfully。 

    One     thing   troubled   me�察  �and     I  considered   it   for  a  long   time 

before I went to sleep。 I had kept Mr Woodcourt¨s flowers。 When 

they were withered I had dried them�察�and put them in a book that 

I   was   fond   of。   Nobody   knew   this�察  �not   even   Ada。   I   was   doubtful 

whether   I   had   a   right   to   preserve   what   he   had   sent   to   one   so 

different!whether it was generous towards him to do it。 I wished 

to   be   generous   to   him�察  �even   in   the   secret   depths    of   my   heart�察�

which   he   would   never   know�察  �because   I   could   have   loved   him! 

could have been devoted to him。 At last I came to the conclusion 

that I might keep them�察�if I treasured them only as a remembrance 

of what was irrevocably past and gone�察�never to be looked back on 

any more�察�in any other light。 I hope this may not seem trivial。 I was 

very much in earnest。 

    I took care to be up early in the morning�察�and to be before the

glass when Charley came in on tiptoe。 

    ^Dear�察�dear�察�miss� 院�cried Charley�察�starting。 ^Is that you�拭院�

    ^Yes�察  �Charley�察院  �said   I�察  �quietly   putting   up   my   hair。   ^And   I   am 

very well indeed�察�and very happy。 ̄ 

    I   saw  it  was   a   weight   off   Charley¨s   mind�察  �but   it   was   a   greater 

weight off mine。 I knew the worst now�察�and was composed to it。 I 

shall   not   conceal�察  �as   I   go   on�察  �the   weaknesses   I   could   not   quite 

conquer�察  �but  they  always passed   from   me   soon�察  �and   the   happier 

frame of mind stayed by me faithfully。 

    Wishing to be fully re´established in my strength and my good 

spirits   before   Ada   came�察  �I   now   laid   down   a   little   series   of   plans 

with Charley for being in the fresh air all day long。 We were to be 

out  before   breakfast�察  �and  were   to  dine   early�察  �and  were   to   be   out 

again before and after dinner�察�and were to walk in the garden after 

tea�察  �and   were   to  go  to  rest  betimes�察�and   were   to  climb   every  hill 

and explore every road�察�lane�察�and field in the neighbourhood。 As to 

restoratives      and    strengthening       delicacies�察    �Mr   Boythorn¨s       good 

housekeeper was for ever trotting about with something to eat or 

drink in her hand�察�I could not even be heard   of  as   resting  in   the 

Park�察  �but   she   would   come   trotting   after   me   with   a   basket�察  �her 

cheerful face shining with a lecture on the importance of frequent 

nourishment。   Then   there   was   a   pony   expressly   for   my   riding�察  �a 

chubby pony�察�with a short neck and a mane all over his eyes�察�who 

could canter!when he would!so easily and quietly�察�that he was a 

treasure。 In a very few days�察�he would come to me in the paddock 

when I called him�察�and eat out of my hand�察�and follow me about。 

We   arrived   at   such   a   capital   understanding�察  �that   when   he   was 

jogging  with  me   lazily�察�and   rather   obstinately�察  �down   some   shady 

lane�察  �if   I   patted   his   neck�察  �and   said�察   �Stubbs�察  �I   am   surprised   you

don¨t canter when you know how much I   like   it�察  �and   I   think   you 

might   oblige   me�察     �for   you   are  only   getting   stupid    and    going   to 

sleep�察院�he would give his head a comical shake or two�察�and set off 

directly�察   �while    Charley     would     stand    still  and  laugh    with    such 

enjoyment�察�that her laughter was like music。 I don¨t know who had

as   his   rough   coat。   Once   we   put   him   in   a   little   chaise�察  �and   dro
