The trooper stands in the doorway�察 �still and silent。 Phil has
stopped in a low clinking noise�察�with his little hammer in his hand。
Mr Woodcourt looks round with that grave professional interest
and attention on his face�察 �and�察 �glancing significantly at the

trooper�察 �signs to Phil to carry his table out。 When the little
hammer is next used�察�there will be a speck of rust upon it。
^Well�察�Joe� �What is the matter�拭�Don¨t be frightened。 ̄
^I thought�察院�says Jo�察�who has started�察�and is looking round�察 �I
thought I was in Tom´all´Alone¨s agin。 Ain¨t there nobody here but
you�察�Mr Woodcot�拭院�
^Nobody。 ̄
^And I ain¨t took back to Tom´all´Alone¨s。 Am I�察�sir�拭院�
^No。 ̄ Jo closes his eyes�察�muttering�察 �I¨m wery thankful。 ̄
After watching him closely a little while�察�Allan puts his mouth
very near his ear�察�and says to him in a low�察�distinct voice�此�
^Jo� �Did you ever know a prayer�拭院�
^Never knowd nothink�察�sir。 ̄
^Not so much as one short prayer�拭院�
^No�察�sir。 Nothink at all。 Mr Chadbands he wos a´prayin wunst
at Mr Sangsby¨s and I heerd him�察�but he sounded as if he wos a´
speakin¨ to hisself�察�and not to me。 He prayed a lot�察�but I couldn¨t
make out nothink on it。 Different times�察�there was other genlmen
come down Tom´all´Alone¨s a´prayin�察 �but they all mostly sed as
the t¨other wuns prayed wrong�察 �and all mostly sounded to be a´
talking to theirselves�察�or a´passing blame on the t¨others�察�and not
a´talkin to us。 We never knowd nothink。 I never knowd what it wos
all about。 ̄
It takes him a long time to say this�察�and few but an experienced
and attentive listener could hear�察 �or�察 �hearing�察 �understand him。
After a short relapse into sleep or stupor�察�he makes�察�of a sudden�察�a
strong effort to get out of bed。
^Stay�察�Jo�拭�What now�拭院�
^It¨s time for me to go to that there berryin ground�察 �sir�察院 �he

^Lie down�察�and tell me。 What burying ground�察�Jo� 院�
^Where they laid him as wos wery good to me�察�wery good to me
indeed�察�he wos。 It¨s time fur me to go down to that there berryin
ground sir�察�and ask to be put along with him。 I wants to go there
and be berried。 He used fur to say to me�察 �I am as poor as you

and have come there to be laid along with him。 ̄
^By and by�察�Jo。 By and by。 ̄
^Ah� �P¨raps they wouldn¨t do it if I wos to go myself。 But will
you promise to have me took there�察�sir�察�and laid along with him�拭院�
^I will�察�indeed。 ̄
^Thank¨ee�察�sir。 Thank¨ee�察�sir。 They¨ll have to get the key of the
gate afore they can take me in�察�for it¨s allus locked。 And there¨s a

dark�察�sir。 Is there any light a´comin�拭院�
^It is coming fast�察�Jo。 ̄
Fast。 The cart is shaken all to pieces�察 �and the rugged road is
very near its end。

^I hear you�察�sir�察�in the dark�察�but I¨m a´gropin!a´gropin!let me
catch hold of your hand。 ̄

Closing In
he place in Lincolnshire has shut its many eyes again�察�and
the house in town is awake。 In Lincolnshire�察�the Dedlocks
T
of the past doze in their picture´frames�察�and the low wind
murmurs through the long drawing´room as if they were
breathing pretty regularly。 In town�察 �the Dedlocks of the present
rattle in their fire´eyed carriages through the darkness of the
night�察�and the Dedlock Mercuries�察�with ashes ��or hair´powder�� on
their heads�察 �symptomatic of their great humility�察 �loll away the
drowsy mornings in the little windows of the hall。 The fashionable
world´tremendous orb�察 �nearly five miles round!is in full swing�察�
and the solar system works respectfully at its appointed distances。
Where the throng is thickest�察 �where the lights are brightest�察�
where all the senses are ministered to with the greatest delicacy
and refinement�察 �Lady Dedlock is。 From the shining heights she
has scaled and taken�察�she is never absent。 Though the belief she of
old reposed in herself�察 �as one able to reserve whatsoever she
would under her mantel of pride�察�is beaten down�察�though she has
no assurance that what she is to those around her�察�she will remain
another day�察 �it is not her nature�察 �when envious eyes are looking
on�察�to yield or to droop。 They say of her�察�that she has lately grown
more handsome and more haughty。 The debilitated cousin says of
her that she¨s beauty nough!tsetup Shopofwomen!but rather
larming kind!remindingmanfact!inconvenient woman!who

Mr Tulkinghorn says nothing�察 �looks nothing。 Now�察 �as
heretofore�察�he is to be found in doorways of rooms�察�with his limp
white cravat loosely twisted into its old´fashioned tie�察 �receiving
patronage from the Peerage and making no sign。 Of all men he is
still the last who might be supposed to have any influence upon
my Lady。 Of all women she is still the last who might be supposed
to have any dread of him。
One thing has been much on her mind since their late interview
in his turret´room at Chesney Wold。 She is now decided�察 �and
prepared to throw it off。
It is morning in the great world�察 �afternoon according to the
little sun。 The Mercuries�察�exhausted by looking out of window�察�are
reposing in the hall�察 �and hang their heavy heads�察 �the gorgeous
creatures�察�like overblown sunflowers。 Like them�察�too�察�they seem to
run to a deal of seed in their tags and trimmings。 Sir Leicester�察�in
the library�察�has fallen asleep for the good of the country�察�over the
report of a Parliamentary committee。 My Lady sits in the room in
which she gave audience to the young man of the name of Guppy。
Rosa is with her�察�and has been writing for her and reading to her。
Rosa is now at work upon embroidery�察�or some such pretty thing�察�
and as she bends her head over it�察�my Lady watches her in silence。
Not for the first time today。
^Rosa。 ̄
The pretty village face looks brightly up。 Then�察 �seeing how
serious my Lady is�察�looks puzzled and surprised。
^See to the door。 Is it shut�拭院�
Yes。 She goes to it and returns�察�and looks yet more surprised。
^I am about to place confidence in you�察�child�察�for I know I may
trust your attachment�察�if not your judgment。 In what I am going to

do�察�I will not disguise myself to you at least。 But I confide in you。
Say nothing to any one of what passes between us。 ̄
The timid little beauty promises in all earnestness to be
trustworthy。
^Do you know�察院�Lady Dedlock asks her�察�signing to her to bring
her chair nearer�察 �do you know�察�Rosa�察 �that I am different to you
from what I am to any one�拭院�
^Yes�察�my Lady。 Much kinder。 But then I often think I know you
as you really are。 ̄
^You often think you know me as I really am�拭�Poor child�察�poor
child� 院�
She says it with a kind of scorn!though not of Rosa!and sits
brooding�察�looking dreamily at her。
^Do you think�察 �Rosa�察 �you are any relief or comfort to me�拭 �Do
you suppose your being young and natural�察 �and fond of me and
grateful to me�察�makes it any pleasure to me to have you near me�拭院�
^I don¨t know�察�my Lady�察�I can scarcely hope so。 But with all my
heart�察�I wish it was s
