    ^I don¨t know�察�my Lady�察�I can scarcely hope so。 But with all my 

heart�察�I wish it was so。 ̄ 

    ^It is so�察�little one。 ̄ 

   The pretty face is checked in its flush of pleasure�察�by the dark 

expression on the handsome face before it。 It looks timidly for an 

explanation。 

    ^And   if  I  were   to  say  today�察  �Go�  �Leave   me�  �I  should   say   what 

would   give   me   great   pain   and   disquiet�察  �child�察  �and   what   would 

leave me very solitary。 ̄

hand upon her dark hair�察�and gently keeps it there。 

    ^I   told   you�察  �Rosa�察  �that   I   wished   you   to   be   happy�察  �and   that   I 

would make you so if I could make anybody happy on this earth。 I 

can   not。   There   are   reasons   now   known   to   me�察  �reasons   in   which 

you have   no  part�察  �rendering  it  far  better  for  you  that  you  should 

not   remain   here。   You   must   not   remain   here。   I   have   determined 

that you shall not。 I have written to the father of your lover�察�and he 

will be here today。 All this I have done for your sake。 ̄ 

    The   weeping   girl   covers   her   hand   with   kisses�察  �and   says   what 

shall   she   do�察  �what   shall   she   do�察  �when   they   are   separated�   �Her 

mistress kisses her on the cheek�察�and makes no other answer。

free!that you are not happy。 ̄

own。 It is done。 What I am towards you�察�Rosa�察�is what I am now! 

not what I shall be a little while hence。 Remember this�察�and keep 

my confidence。 Do so much for my sake�察�and thus all ends between

    She detaches herself from her simple´hearted companion�察�and 

leaves   the   room。   Late   in   the   afternoon�察  �when   she   next   appears 

upon   the   staircase�察�she   is  in  her  haughtiest  and   coldest  state。   As 

indifferent   as   if   all   passion�察  �feeling�察  �and   interest�察  �had   been   worn 

out   in   the   earlier   ages   of   the   world�察  �and   had   perished   from   its 

surface with its other departed monsters。

    Mercury has announced Mr Rouncewell�察�which is the cause of 

her    appearance。       Mr   Rouncewell       is  not  in   the  library�察  �but   she 

repairs   to   the   library。   Sir   Leicester   is   there�察  �and   she   wishes   to 

speak to him first。 

    ^Sir Leicester�察�I am desirous!but you are engaged。 ̄ 

    O dear no� �Not at all。 Only Mr Tulkinghorn。 

    Always   at   hand。     Haunting   every   place。       No   relief  or   security 

from him for a moment。 

    ^I beg your pardon�察�Lady Dedlock。 Will you allow me to retire�拭院�

    With a look that plainly says�察 �You know you have the power to 

remain   if   you   will�察院  �she   tells   him   it   is   not   necessary�察  �and   moves 

towards a chair。 Mr Tulkinghorn brings it a little forward for her 

with     his   clumsy     bow�察    �and    retires    into   a   window      opposite。 

Interposed   between   her   and   the   fading   light   of   day   in   the   now 

quiet street�察�his shadow falls upon her�察�and he darkens all before 

her。 Even so does he darken her life。 

    It is a dull street under the best conditions�察�where the two long 

rows   of  houses   stare  at  each  other  with   that   severity�察  �that   half   a 

dozen   of   its   greatest   mansions   seem   to   have   been   slowly   stared 

into stone�察�rather than originally built in that material。 It is a street 

of   such    dismal    grandeur�察    �so   determined      not   to  condescend       to 

liveliness�察�that the doors and windows hold a gloomy state of their 

own in black paint and dust�察�and the echoing mews behind have a 

dry and massive appearance�察�as if they were reserved to stable the 

stone charges of noble statues。 Complicated garnish  of iron´work 

entwines   itself   over   the   flights   of   steps   in   this   awful   street�察  �and�察�

from these petrified bowers�察�extinguishers for obsolete flambeaux 

gasp   at   the   upstart   gas。   Here   and   there   a   weak   little   iron   hoop�察�

through   which   bold   boys   aspire   to   throw   their   friends¨   caps   ��its

only present use���察�retains its place among the rusty foliage�察�sacred 

to the memory of departed oil。 Nay�察�even oil itself�察�yet lingering at 

long intervals in a little absurd glass pot�察�with a knob in the bottom 

like an oyster�察�blinks and sulks at newer lights every night�察�like its 

high and dry master in the House of Lords。 

   Therefore there is   not  much  that  Lady  Dedlock�察  �seated in   her 

chair�察   �could    wish   to   see  through     the   window     in   which    Mr 

Tulkinghorn   stands。   And   yet!and   yet!she   sends   a   look   in   that 

direction�察   �as   if  it  were  her   heart¨s   desire   to  have   that   figure 

removed out of the way。 

   Sir Leicester begs his Lady¨s pardon。 She was about to say�拭�

    ^Only     that  Mr    Rouncewell      is  here   ��he   has   called   by   my 

appointment���察�and that we had better make an end of the question 

of that girl。 I am tired to death of the matter。 ̄ 

    ^What   can   I   do!to!assist�拭院  �demands   Sir   Leicester�察  �in   some 

considerable doubt。 

    ^Let us see him here�察�and have done with it。 Will you tell them 

to send him up�拭院�

    ^Mr Tulkinghorn�察�be so good as to ring。 Thank you。 Request�察院�

says Sir Leicester to Mercury�察�not  immediately  remembering  the 

business term�察 �request the iron gentleman to walk this way。 ̄ 

   Mercury   departs   in   search   of   the   iron   gentleman�察  �finds�察  �and 

produces      him。   Sir  Leicester    receives    that   ferruginous     person�察�

graciously。 

    ^I hope you are well�察�Mr Rouncewell。 Be seated。   ��My  solicitor�察�

Mr   Tulkinghorn。��   My   Lady        was   desirous�察  �Mr   Rouncewell�察院     �Sir 

Leicester skillfully transfers him with a solemn wave of his hand�察�

best   attention   to   anything   Lady   Dedlock   does   me   the   honour   to 

say。 ̄ 

   As    he   turns   towards     her�察  �he  finds   that   the   impression     she 

makes upon him is less agreeable than on the former occasion。 A 

distant  supercilious  air makes a   cold   atmosphere   about   her�察  �and 

there is nothing in her bearing�察�as there was before�察�to encourage 

openness。 

    ^Pray�察�sir�察院�says Lady Dedlock�察�listlessly�察 �may I be allowed to 

inquire whether anything has passed between   you  and   your  son�察�

respecting your son¨s fancy�拭院�

    It is almost too troublesome to her languid eyes to bestow a look 

upon him�察�as she asks this question。 

    ^If my memory serves me�察�Lady Dedlock�察�I said�察�when I had the 

pleasure   of   seeing   you   before�察  �that   I   should   seriously   advise   my 

son     to   conquer      that!fancy。 ̄       The     ironmaster      repeats     her 

expression with a little emphasis。 

    ^And did you�拭院�

    ^O� �of course I did。 ̄ 

    Sir   Leicester   gives   a   nod�察  �approving   and   confirmatory。        Very 

proper。 The iron gentleman having said that he   would  do  it�察  �was 

bound   to   do   it。   No   difference   in   this   respect   between   the   base 

metals and the precious。 Highly proper。 

    ^And pray has he done so�拭院�

    ^Really�察  �Lady   Dedlock�察  �I   cannot   make   you   a   definite   reply。   I 

fear not。 Probably not yet。 In our condition of life�察�we sometimes 

couple an intention with our!our fancies�察�which renders them not 

altogether  easy  to  throw  off。   I   think   it  is   rather  our  way  to  be   in 

earnest。 ̄ 

    Sir Leicester has   a misgiving  that  there   may  be  a   hidden   Wat

Tylerish      meaning      in   this  expression�察     �and    fumes     a  little。  Mr 

Rouncewell        is  perfectly   good´humoured          and   polite�察  �but�察 �within 

such limits�察�evidently adapts his tone to his reception。

subject!which is tiresome to me。 ̄
