^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。 ̄
^My Lady� �Have I offended you�拭院�
^In nothing。 Come here。 ̄
Rosa bends down on the footstool at my Lady¨s feet。 My Lady�察�
with that motherly touch of the famous Iron´master night�察�lays her

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。
^Now�察�be happy�察�child�察�under better circumstances。 Be beloved
and happy� 院�
^Ah�察�my Lady�察�I have sometimes thought!forgive my being so
free!that you are not happy。 ̄
^I� 院�
^Will you be more so�察�when you have sent me away�拭�Pray�察�pray�察�
think again。 Let me stay a little while� 院�
^I have said�察�my child�察�that what I do�察�I do for your sake�察�not my
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
us� 院�
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�
^was desirous to speak with you。 Hem� 院�
^I shall be very happy�察院�returns the iron gentleman�察 �to give my

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。
^Because�察院 �proceeds my Lady�察 �I have been thinking of the
subject!which is tiresome to me。 ̄
^I am very sorry�察�I am sure。 ̄
^And also of what Sir Leicester said upon it�察 �in which I quite
concur�察院 �Sir Leicester flattered�此 �and if you cannot give us the
assurance that this fancy is at an end�察 �I have come to the
conclusion that the girl had better l
