madness�察�and I tell you I can¨t help it now�察�and can¨t be sane。 But 

it is no such thing�察�it is the one object I have to pursue。 It is a pity I 

ever was   prevailed   upon  to  turn   out  of  my  road   for  any  other。   It 

would be wisdom to abandon it now�察�after all the time�察�anxiety and 

pains   I   have   bestowed   upon   it�  �O   yes�察  �true   wisdom。   It   would   be 

very agreeable�察�too�察�to some people�察�but I never will。 ̄ 

    He was in that mood in which I thought it best not to increase 

his determination ��if anything could increase it�� by opposing him。 I

took out Ada¨s letter and put it in his hand。 

    ^Am I to read it now�拭院�he asked。 

    As I told him yes�察�he laid it on the table�察�and�察�resting his head 

upon   his   hand�察  �began。   He   had   not   read   far�察  �when   he   rested   his 

head   upon   his   two   hands!to   hide   his   face   from   me。   In   a   little 

while he rose as if the light were bad�察�and went to the window。 He 

finished reading it there�察�with his back towards me�察�and�察�after he 

had   finished   and   had   folded   it   up�察  �stood   there   for   some   minutes 

with the letter in his hand。 When he came back to his chair�察�I saw 

tears in his eyes。 

    ^Of course�察�Esther�察�you know what she says here�拭院�He spoke in 

a softened voice�察�and kissed the letter as he asked me。 

    ^Yes�察�Richard。 ̄ 

    ^Offers   me�察院  �he  went  on�察 �tapping  his   foot  upon   the  floor�察   �the 

little   inheritance   she   is   certain   of   so   soon!just   as   little   and   as 

much   as   I   have   wasted!and   begs   and   prays   me   to   take   it�察  �set 

myself right with it�察�and remain in the service。 ̄ 

    ^I know your welfare to be the dearest wish of her heart�察院�said 

I。 ^And O�察�my dear Richard�察�Ada¨s is a noble heart� 院�

    ^I am sure it is。 I!I wish I was dead� 院�

    He    went   back     to   the  window�察    �and   laying   his   arm    across   it�察�

leaned his head down on his arm。 It greatly affected me to see him 

so�察  �but  I   hoped  he   might  become more   yielding�察  �and   I   remained 

silent。 My experience   was   very  limited�察 �I   was  not  at all   prepared 

for his rousing himself out of this emotion to a new sense of injury。 

    ^And this is the heart that the same John Jarndyce�察�who is not 

otherwise   to   be     mentioned   between         us�察  �stepped    in  to   estrange 

from me�察院�said he�察�indignantly。 ^And the dear girl makes me this 

generous   offer   from   under   the   same   John   Jarndyce¨s   roof�察  �and

with the same John Jarndyce¨s gracious consent and connivance�察�I 

dare say�察�as a new means of buying me off。 ̄ 

    ^Richard� 院  �I   cried   out�察  �rising   hastily�察   �I   will   not   hear   you   say 

such shameful words� 院�I was very angry with him�察�indeed�察�for the 

first time in my life�察�but it only lasted a moment。 When I saw his 

worn young face looking at me�察�as if he were sorry�察�I put my hand 

on his shoulder�察�and said�察 �If you please�察�my dear Richard�察�do not 

speak in such a tone to me。 Consider� 院�

    He    blamed     himself    exceedingly�察     �and   told   me    in  the   most 

generous      manner�察    �that   he  had    been   very   wrong�察    �and   that   he 

begged      my   pardon     a  thousand      times。   At   that  I  laughed�察    �but 

trembled a little too�察�for I was rather fluttered after being so fiery。 

    ^To   accept   this   offer�察  �my   dear   Esther�察院  �said   he�察  �sitting   down 

beside   me�察  �and   resuming   our   conversation�察�^once             more�察  �pray�察�

pray    forgive    me�察  �I  am    deeply    grieved!to      accept    my    dearest 

cousin¨s offer is�察�I need not say�察�impossible。 Besides�察�I have letters 

and papers that I could show you�察�which would convince you it is 

all over here。 I have done with the red coat�察�believe me。 But it is 

some satisfaction�察�in the midst of my troubles and perplexities�察�to 

know      that  I  am   pressing    Ada¨s    interests   in  pressing    my    own。 

Vholes has his shoulder to the wheel�察�and he cannot help urging it 

on as much for her as for me�察�thank God� 院�

    His sanguine hopes were rising within him�察�and lighting up his 

features�察�but they made his face more sad to me than it had been 

before。 

    ^No�察�no� 院�cried Richard�察�exultingly。 ^If every farthing of  Ada¨s 

little fortune were mine�察�no part of it should be spent in retaining 

me in what I am not fit for�察�can take no interest in�察�and am weary 

of。   It   should   be   devoted   to   what   promises   a   better   return�察  �and

should be used where she has a larger stake。 Don¨t be uneasy for 

me� �I shall now have only one thing on my mind�察�and Vholes and I 

will work it。 I shall not be without means。 Free of my commission�察�

I   shall   be   able   to   compound   with   some   small   usurers�察  �who   will 

hear of nothing but their bond now!Vholes says so。 I should have 

a balance in my favour any way�察�but that will swell it。 Come�察�come� �

You shall carry a letter to Ada from me�察�Esther�察�and you must both 

of you be more hopeful of me�察�and not believe that I am quite cast 

away just yet�察�my dear。 ̄ 

    I will not repeat what I said to Richard。 I know it was tiresome�察�

and nobody is to suppose for a moment that it was at  all   wise。   It 

only came from my heart。 He heard it patiently and feelingly�察�but I 

saw   that   on   the   two   subjects   he   had   reserved�察  �it   was   at   present 

hopeless   to make  any  representation   to  him。  I   saw�察  �too�察  �and   had 

experienced   in   this   very   interview�察  �the   sense   of   my   Guardian¨s 

remark�察�that it was even more mischievous to use persuasion with 

him than to leave him as he was。 

    Therefore   I   was   driven   at   last   to   asking   Richard   if   he   would 

mind   convincing   me   that   it   really   was   all   over   there�察  �as   he   had 

said�察   �and   that   it   was   not   his  mere   impression。     He    showed     me 

without hesitation a correspondence making it quite plain that his 

retirement was arranged。 I found�察�from what he told me�察�that Mr 

Vholes   had  copies   of  these   papers�察�and   had   been   in   consultation 

with him   throughout。   Beyond   ascertaining  this�察  �and   having  been 

the    bearer    of  Ada¨s    letter�察  �and   being    ��as   I  was    going    to  be�� 

Richard¨s      companion   back        to   London�察   �I  had   done    no   good    by 

coming   down。   Admitting   this   to   myself   with   a   reluctant   heart�察  �I 

said I would return to the hotel and wait until he joined me there�察�

so he threw a cloak over his shoulders and saw me to the gate�察�and

Charley and I went back along the beach。 

    There was a concourse of people in one spot�察�surrounding some 

naval officers   who  were  landing  from a boat�察  �and  pressing about 

them with unusual interest。 I said to Charley this would be one of 

the great Indiaman¨s boats now�察�and we stopped to look。 

    The   gentlemen   came   slowly   up   from   the   waterside�察  �speaking 

good´humouredly   to   each   other   and   to   the   people   around�察           �and 

glancing about them as if they were glad to be in England again。 

^Charley�察     �Charley� 院    �said   I�察  �come    away� 院    �and   I  hurried    on   so 

swiftly that my little maid was surprised。 

    It was not until we were shut up in our cabin´room�察�and I had 

had time to take breath�察�that I began to think why I had made such 

haste。   In   one   of   the   sunburnt   faces   I   had   recognised   Mr   Allan 

Woodcourt�察  �and   I   had   been   afraid   of   his   recognizing   me。   I   had 

been   unwilling   that   he   should   see   my   altered   looks。   I   had   been 

taken by surprise�察�and my courage had quite failed me。 

    But   I   knew   this   would   not   do�察  �and   I   now   said   to   myself�察   �My 

dear�察  �there   is no  reason!there   is and   there   can   be   no   reason   at 

all!why   it   should   be   worse   for   you   now�察  �than   it   ever   has   been。 

What you were last month�察�you are today�察�you are no  worse�察  �you 

are no better。 This is not your resolution�察�call it up�察�Esther�察�call it 

up� 院  �I   was   in   a  great   tremble!with   running!and             at   first   was 

quite unable to calm myself�察�but I got better�察�and I was very glad to 

know it。 

    The   party   came   to   the   hotel。   I   heard   them     speaking   on     the 

staircase。   I   was   sure   it   was   the   same   gentlemen   because   I   knew 

their voices again!I mean I knew Mr Woodcourt¨s。 It would still 

have been a great relief to me to have gone away without making 

myself known�察�but I   was   determined  not  to  do  so。 ^No�察�my  dear�察�
