in   through   the   glass   from   the   corridor   outside。   He   knows   them 

well。 The blood has not flushed into his face so suddenly and redly 

for many a long year�察�as when he recognises Lady Dedlock。 

    He steps into the room�察�and she comes in too�察�closing both the 

doors     behind     her。   There    is  a  wild    disturbance!is        it  fear  or 

anger�拭�in her eyes。 In her carriage and all else�察�she looks as she 

looked downstairs two hours ago。 

    Is it fear or is it anger�察�now�拭�He cannot be sure。 Both might be 

as pale�察�both as intent。 

    ^Lady Dedlock�拭院�

    She    does    not  speak    at  first�察 �nor   even   when     she   has   slowly 

dropped into the easy chair by the table。 They look at each other�察�

like two pictures。 

    ^Why have you told my story to so many persons�拭院�

    ^Lady   Dedlock�察  �it   was   necessary   for   me   to   inform   you   that   I

    ^How long have you known it�拭院�

    ^I have suspected it a long while!fully known it�察�a little while。 ̄

    He  stands   before   her�察  �with   one   hand   on   a   chair´back   and   the 

other   in   his   old´fashioned   waistcoat   and   shirt´frill�察  �exactly   as   he 

has   stood   before   her   at   any   time   since   her   marriage。   The   same 

formal politeness�察�the same composed deference that might as well 

be defiance�察�the whole man the same dark�察�cold object�察�at the same 

distance�察�which nothing has ever diminished。 

    ^Is this true concerning the poor girl�拭院�

    He    slightly   inclines    and    advances     his   head�察   �as  not   quite 

understanding the question。 

    ^You   know   what   you   related。   Is   it   true�拭  �Do   her   friends   know 

my story also�拭�Is it the town´talk yet�拭�Is it chalked upon the walls 

and cried in the streets�拭院�

    So�   �Anger�察  �and   fear�察  �and   shame。   All   three   contending。   What 

power   this   woman   has�察  �to   keep   these   raging   passions   down�   �Mr 

Tulkinghorn¨s thoughts take such form as he looks at her�察�with his 

ragged grey eyebrows a hair¨s´breath more contracted than usual�察�

under her gaze。 

    ^No�察�Lady Dedlock。 That was a hypothetical case�察�arising out of 

Sir   Leicester¨s   unconsciously   carrying   the   matter   with   so   high   a 

hand。 But it would be a real case if they knew!what we know。 ̄ 

    ^Then they do not know it yet�拭院�

    ^No。 ̄

    And   he   thinks�察  �with   the   interest   of   attentive   curiosity�察  �as   he 

watches   the   struggle   in   her  breast�察   �The   power  and   force   of   this 

woman are astonishing� 院�

    ^Sir�察院�she says�察�for the moment obliged to set her lips   with  all 

the energy she has�察�that she may speak distinctly�察 �I will make it 

plainer。   I   do   not  dispute   your   hypothetical   case。   I   anticipated   it�察�

and     felt  its  truth   as  strongly     as  you    can   do�察  �when     I  saw   Mr 

Rouncewell   here。   I knew  very  well   that  if  he could   have   had   the 

power   of   seeing   me   as   I    was�察  �he   would    consider   the     poor   girl 

tarnished by having for a moment been�察�although most innocently�察�

the subject of my  great  and distinguished patronage。   But�察  �I   have 

an interest in her�察�or I should rather say!no longer belonging to 

this   place!I   had�察  �and   if   you   can   find   so   much   consideration   for 

the woman under your foot as to remember that�察�she will be very 

sensible of your mercy。 ̄ 

    Mr   Tulkinghorn�察  �profoundly   attentive�察  �throws   this   off   with   a 

shrug     of   self´depreciation�察     �and    contracts     his  eyebrows       a  little 

more。 

    ^You have   prepared me   for  my  exposure�察�and   I   thank   you   for 

that   too。   Is   there   anything   that   you   require   of   me�拭  �Is   there   any 

claim that I can release�察�or any charge or trouble that I can spare 

my husband in obtaining his release�察�by certifying to the exactness 

of  your  discovery�拭  �I   will   write   anything�察  �here   and   now�察  �that   you 

will dictate。 I am ready to do it。 ̄ 

    And   she   would   do   it�   �thinks   the   lawyer�察  �watchful   of   the   firm 

hand with which she takes the pen� �

myself�察�nor to be spared。 You can do nothing worse to me than you 

have done。 Do what remains�察�now。 ̄ 

    ^Lady Dedlock�察�there is nothing to be done。 I will take leave to 

say a few words�察�when you have finished。 ̄ 

    Their need for watching  one  another  should be   over  now�察  �but 

they do it all this time�察�and the stars watch them both through the 

opened window。 Away in the moonlight lie the woodland fields at 

rest�察�and the wide house is as quiet as the narrow one。 The narrow 

one�    �Where    are   the  digger   and    the  spade�察  �this  peaceful    night�察�

destined   to   add   the   last   great   secret   to   the   many   secrets   of   the 

Tulkinghorn existence�拭�Is the man born yet�察�is the spade wrought 

yet�拭 �Curious   questions   to   consider�察  �more   curious   perhaps   not   to 

consider�察�under the watching stars upon a summer night。 

    ^Of    repentance     or  remorse�察    �or  any   feeling   of  mine�察院   �Lady 

Dedlock presently proceeds�察 �I say not a word。 If I were not dumb�察�

you would be deaf。 Let that go by。 It is not for your ears。 ̄ 

    He makes a feint of offering a protest�察�but  she   sweeps  it  away 

with her disdainful hand。 

    ^Of other and very different things I come to speak to you。 My 

jewels are all in their proper places of keeping。 They will be found 

there。   So�察  �my   dresses。   So�察  �all   the   valuables   I   have。   Some   ready 

money I had with me�察�please to say�察�but no large amount。 I did not 

wear my own dress�察�in order that I might avoid observation。 I went 

to be henceforward lost。 Make this known。 I leave no other charge 

with you。 ̄ 

    ^Excuse      me�察  �Lady     Dedlock�察院    �says   Mr   Tulkinghorn�察      �quite 

unmoved。 ^I am not sure that I understand you。 You went�拭� ̄ 

     ^To be lost to all here。 I leave Chesney Wold tonight。 I go this 

hour。 ̄

    Mr   Tulkinghorn   shakes   his   head。   She        rises�察 �but   he�察 �without 

removing   hand   from   chair´back   or   from   old´fashioned   waistcoat 

and shirt´frill�察�shakes his head。 

    ^What�拭�Not go as I have said�拭院�

    ^No�察�Lady Dedlock�察院�he very calmly replies。 

    ^Do you  know  the   relief  that  my  disappearance   will be�拭 �Have 

you forgotten the stain and blot upon   this place�察�and   where   it  is�察�

and who it is�拭院�

    ^No�察�Lady Dedlock�察�not by any means。 ̄ 

    Without deigning to rejoin�察�she moves to the inner door and has 

it in her hand�察�when he says to her�察�without himself stirring hand 

or foot�察�or raising his voice�此�

    ^Lady   Dedlock�察      �have   the   goodness     to  stop   and   hear   me�察  �or 

before you reach the staircase I shall ring the alarm´bell and rouse 

the   house。   And   then   I   must   speak   out�察  �before   every   guest   and 

servant�察�every man and woman in it。 ̄ 

    He has conquered her。 She falters�察�trembles�察�and puts her hand 

confusedly   to   her   head。   Slight   tokens   these   in   any   one   else�察  �but 

when so practised an eye as Mr Tulkinghorn¨s sees indecision for a 

moment in such a subject�察�he thoroughly knows its value。 

    He promptly says again�察 �Have the goodness to hear me�察�Lady 

Dedlock�察院�and motions to the chair from which she has risen。 She 

hesitates�察�but he motions again�察�and she sits down。 

    ^The   relations   between   us   are   of   an   unfortunate   description�察�

Lady     Dedlock�察    �but�察 �as   they   are   not  of  my    making�察    �I  will  not 

apologise      for  them。     The    position    I  hold   in   reference     to  Sir 

Leicester  is   so  well known  to  you�察  �that  I   can   hardly  imagine   but 

that I must long have appeared in your eyes the natural person to 

make this discovery。 ̄
