I untied my bonnet�察 �and put my veil half up!I think I mean
half down�察�but it matters very little!and wrote on one of my cards
that I happened to be there with Mr Richard Carstone�察�and I sent
it in to Mr Woodcourt。 He came immediately。 I told him I was
rejoiced to be by chance among the first to welcome him home to
England。 And I saw that he was very sorry for me。
^You have been in shipwreck and peril since you left us�察 �Mr
Woodcourt�察院 �said I�察 �but we can hardly call that a misfortune
which enabled you to be so useful and so brave。 We read of it with
the truest interest。 It first came to my knowledge through your old
patient�察 �poor Miss Flite�察 �when I was recovering from my severe
illness。 ̄
^Ah� �little Miss Flite� 院�he said。 ^She lives the same life yet�拭院�
^Just the same。 ̄
I was so comfortable with myself now�察�as not to mind the veil�察�
and to be able to put it aside。
^Her gratitude to you�察 �Mr Woodcourt�察 �is delightful。 She is a
most affectionate creature�察�as I have reason to say。 ̄
^You!you have found her so�拭院 �he returned。 ^I!I am glad of
that。 ̄ He was so very sorry for me that he could scarcely speak。
^I assure you�察院 �said I�察 �that I was deeply touched by her
sympathy and pleasure at the time I have referred to。 ̄
^I was grieved to hear that you had been very ill。 ̄
^I was very ill。 ̄
^But you have quite recovered�拭院�
^I have quite recovered my health and my cheerfulness�察院�said I。
^You know how good my Guardian is�察 �and what a happy life we
lead�察�and I have everything to be thankful for�察�and nothing in the

world to desire。 ̄
I felt as if he had greater commiseration for me than I had ever
had for myself。 It inspired me with new fortitude�察 �and new
calmness�察 �to find that it was I who was under the necessity of
reassuring him。 I spoke to him of his voyage out and home�察�and of
his future plans�察�and of his probable return to India。 He said that
was very doubtful。 He had not found himself more favoured by
fortune there�察�than here。 He had gone out a poor ship¨s surgeon�察�
and had come home nothing better。 While we were talking�察 �and
when I was glad to believe that I had alleviated ��if I may use such a
term�� the shock he had had in seeing me�察�Richard came in。 He had
heard downstairs who was with me�察 �and they met with cordial
pleasure。
I saw that after their first greetings were over�察 �and when they
spoke of Richard¨s career�察�Mr Woodcourt had a perception that all
was not going well with him。 He frequently glanced at his face�察�as
if there were something in it that gave him pain�察 �and more than
once he looked towards me�察 �as though he sought to ascertain
whether I knew what the truth was。 Yet Richard was in one of his
sanguine states�察�and in good spirits�察�and was thoroughly pleased to
see Mr Woodcourt again�察�whom he had always liked。
Richard proposed that we all should go to London together�察�but
Mr Woodcourt having to remain by his ship a little longer�察 �could
not join us。 He dined with us�察 �however�察 �at an early hour�察 �and
became so much more like what he used to be�察 �that I was still
more at peace to think I had been able to soften his regrets。 Yet his
mind was not relieved of Richard。 When the coach was almost
ready�察�and Richard ran down to look after his luggage�察�he spoke to
me about him。

I was not sure that I had a right to lay his whole story open�察�but
I referred in a few words to his estrangement from Mr Jarndyce�察�
and to his being entangled in the ill´fated Chancery suit。 Mr
Woodcourt listened with interest and expressed his regret。
^I saw you observe him rather closely�察院 �said I。 ^Do you think
him so changed�拭院�
^He is changed�察院�he returned�察�shaking his head。
I felt the blood rush into my face for the first time�察�but it was
only an instantaneous emotion。 I turned my head aside�察�and it was
gone。
^It is not�察院�said Mr Woodcourt�察 �his being so much younger or
older�察�or thinner or fatter�察�or paler or ruddier�察�as there being upon
his face such a singular expression。 I never saw so remarkable a
look in a young person。 One cannot say that it is all anxiety�察�or all
weariness�察�yet it is both�察�and like ungrown despair。 ̄
^You do not think he is ill�拭院�said I。
No。 He looked robust in body。
^That he cannot be at peace in mind�察�we have too much reason
to know�察院�I proceeded。 ^Mr Woodcourt�察�you are going to London�拭院�
^Tomorrow or the next day。 ̄
^There is nothing Richard wants so much�察 �as a friend。 He
always liked you。 Pray see him when you get there。 Pray help him
sometimes with your companionship�察�if you can。 You do not know
of what service it might be。 You cannot think how Ada�察 �and Mr
Jarndyce�察 �and even I!how we should all thank you�察 �Mr
Woodcourt� 院�
^Miss Summerson�察院 �he said�察 �more moved than he had been
from the first�察 �before Heaven�察�I will be a true friend to him� �I will
accept him as a trust�察�and it shall be a sacred one� 院�

^God bless you� 院�said I�察�with my eyes filling fast�察�but I thought
they might�察 �when it was not for myself。 ^Ada loves him!we all
love him�察�but Ada loves him as we cannot。 I will tell her what you
say。 Thank you�察�and God bless you in her name� 院�
Richard came back as we finished exchanging these hurried
words�察�and gave me his arm to take me to the coach。
^Woodcourt�察院�he said�察�unconscious with what application�察 �pray
let us meet in London� 院�
^Meet�拭院 �returned the other。 ^I have scarcely a friend there�察�
now�察�but you。 Where shall I find you�拭院�
^Why�察 �I must get a lodging of some sort�察院 �said Richard�察�
pondering。 ^Say at Vholes¨s�察�Symond¨s Inn。 ̄
^Good� �Without loss of time。 ̄
They shook hands heartily。 When I was seated in the coach�察�and
Richard was yet standing in the street�察 �Mr Woodcourt laid his
friendly hand on Richard¨s shoulder�察 �and looked at me。 I
understood him�察�and waved mine in thanks。
And in his last look as we drove away�察 �I saw that he was very
sorry for me。 I was glad to see it。 I felt for my old self as the dead
may feel if they ever revisit these scenes。 I was glad to be tenderly
remembered�察�to be gently pitied�察�not to be quite forgotten。

Chapter 46
Stop Him� �
arkness rests upon Tom´all´Alone¨s。 Dilating and dilating
since the sun went down last night�察 �it has gradually
D
swelled until it fills every void in the place。 For a time
there were some dungeon lights burning�察�as the lamp of Life burns
in Tom´all´Alone¨s�察 �heavily�察 �heavily�察 �in the nauseous air�察 �and
winking!as that lamp�察 �too�察 �winks in Tom´all´Alone¨s!at many
horrible things。 But they are blotted out。 The moon has eyed Tom
with a dull cold stare�察�as admitting some puny emulation of herself
in his desert region unfit for life and blasted by volcanic fires�察�but
she has passed on�察 �and is gone。 The blackest nightmare in the
infernal stables grazes on Tom´all´Alone¨s�察�and Tom is fast asleep。
Much mighty speech´making there has been�察�both in and out of
Parliament�察�concerning Tom�察�and much wrathful disputation how
Tom shall be got right。 Whether he shall be put into the main road
by constables�察 �or by beadles�察 �or by bell´ringing�察 �or by force of
figures�察�or by correct principles of taste�察�or by high church�察�or by
low church�察�or by no church�察 �whether he shall be set to splitting
trusses of polemical straws with the crooked knife of his mind�察�or
whether he shall be put to stone´breaking instead。 In the midst of
which dust and noise�察�there is but one thing perfectly clear�察�to wit�察�
that Tom only may and can�察 �or shall and will�察 �be reclaimed
according to somebody¨s theory but nobody¨s practice。 And�察�in the
hopeful meantime�察�Tom goes to perdition head foremost in his old
determined spirit。

But he has his revenge。 Even the winds are his messengers�察�and
they serve him in these hours of darkness。 There is not
