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�
