understood one another。 

    I have not counted Mr Woodcourt among our visitors�察�because 

he was now Caddy¨s regular attendant。 She soon began to improve 

under his care�察�but he was so gentle�察�so skilful�察�so unwearying in 

the pains he took�察�that it is not to be wondered at�察�I am sure。 I saw 

a good deal of Mr Woodcourt during this time�察�though not so much 

as might be supposed�察�for�察�knowing Caddy to be safe in his hands�察�

I often slipped home at about the hours when he was expected。 We 

frequently met�察�notwithstanding。 I was quite reconciled to myself

now�察�but I still felt glad to think that he was sorry for me�察�and he 

still  was   sorry   for   me   I  believed。   He    helped   Mr   Badger   in     his 

professional engagements�察�which were numerous�察�and had as yet 

no settled projects for the future。 

    It  was   when   Caddy began  to  recover�察  �that  I   began   to   notice   a 

change in my dear girl。 I cannot say how it first presented itself to 

me�察�because I observed it in many  slight  particulars�察  �which  were 

nothing   in     themselves�察    �and   only   became      something      when    they 

were pieced together。 But I made it out�察�by putting them together�察�

that  Ada   was not  so  frankly  cheerful   with   me   as   she   used   to   be。 

Her tenderness for me was as loving and true as ever�察�I did not for 

a   moment   doubt   that�察  �but   there   was   a   quiet   sorrow   about   her 

which   she     did   not   confide   to   me�察 �and   in   which   I  traced    some 

hidden regret。 

    Now I could not understand this�察�and I was so anxious for the 

happiness of my own pet�察�that it caused me some uneasiness�察�and 

set me thinking often。 At length�察�feeling sure that Ada suppressed 

this   something   from   me�察  �lest   it   should   make   me   unhappy   too�察  �it 

came into my head that she was a little grieved!for me!by what 

I had told her about Bleak House。 

    How I persuaded myself that this was likely�察�I don¨t know。 I had 

no idea that there was any selfish reference in my doing so。 I was 

not   grieved   for   myself�察  �I   was   quite   contented   and   quite   happy。 

Still�察�that Ada might be thinking!for me�察�though I had abandoned 

all   such   thoughts!of   what   once   was�察  �but   was   now   all   changed�察�

seemed so easy to believe�察�that I believed it。 

    What could I do to reassure my darling ��I considered then�� and 

show her that I had no such feelings�拭�Well� �I could only be as brisk 

and     busy   as   possible�察   �and    that�察 �I  had    tried   to  be   all  along。

However�察�as Caddy¨s illness had certainly interfered�察�more or less�察�

with   my   home      duties!though   I      had   always    been    there   in  the 

morning to make my Guardian¨s breakfast�察�and he had a hundred 

times   laughed�察  �and   said   there   must   be   two   little   women�察  �for   his 

little woman was never missing!I resolved   to  be  doubly  diligent 

and gay。 So I went about the house�察�humming all the tunes I knew�察�

and I sat working and working in a desperate manner�察�and I talked 

and talked�察�morning noon and night。 

   And still there was the same shade between me and my darling。 

    ^So�察�Dame Trot�察院�observed my Guardian shutting up his book�察�

one   night   when   we   were   all   three   together�察   �so�察  �Woodcourt   has 

restored Caddy Jellyby to the full enjoyment of life again�拭院�

    ^Yes�察�I said�察 �and to be repaid by such gratitude as hers�察�is to be 

made rich�察�Guardian。 ̄ 

    ^I wish it was�察院�he returned�察 �with all my heart。 ̄ 

    So did I too�察�for that matter。 I said so。 

    ^Aye�  �We   would  make   him   as   rich  as   a   Jew�察  �if   we   knew   how。 

Would we not�察�little woman�拭院�

    I   laughed   as   I   worked�察  �and   replied   that   I   was   not   sure   about 

that�察  �for   it   might   spoil   him�察  �and   he   might   not   be   so   useful�察  �and 

there might be many who could ill   spare   him。   As  Miss   Flite�察�and 

Caddy herself�察�and many others。 

    ^True�察院�said my Guardian。 ^I had forgotten that。 But we would 

agree to make him rich enough to live�察�I suppose�拭�Rich enough to 

work with tolerable peace of mind�拭�Rich enough to have his own 

happy      home�察    �and    his   own    household      gods!and        household 

goddess too�察�perhaps�拭院�

    That was quite another thing�察�I said。 We must all agree in that。 

    ^To be sure�察院�said my Guardian。 ^All of us。 I have a great regard

for Woodcourt�察�a high esteem for him�察�and I have been sounding 

him   delicately   about   his     plans。   It   is   difficult   to   offer   aid  to   an 

independent man�察�with that just kind of pride which he possesses。 

And yet I would be glad to do  it if  I   might�察  �or  if  I   knew  how。   He 

seems      half  inclined    for  another    voyage。    But    that  appears     like 

casting such a man away。 ̄ 

    ^It might open a new world to him�察院�said I。 

    ^So it  might  little   woman�察院�my  Guardian   assented。   ^I  doubt  if 

he expects much of the old world。 Do you know I have fancied that 

he     sometimes        feels    some      particular      disappointment�察        �or 

misfortune�察�encountered in it。 You never heard of anything of that 

sort�拭院�

    I shook my head。 

    ^Humph�察院�said my Guardian。 ^I am mistaken�察�I dare say。 ̄ 

    As there was a little pause here�察  �which  I   thought�察  �for  my  dear 

girl¨s   satisfaction�察  �had   better   be   filled   up�察  �I   hummed   an   air   as   I 

worked which was a favourite with my Guardian。 

    ^And do you think Mr Woodcourt will make another voyage�拭院�I 

asked him�察�when I had hummed it quietly all through。 

    ^I don¨t quite know what to think�察�my dear�察�but I should say it 

was    likely   at  present    that  he   will  give   a  long   trial  to  another 

country。 ̄ 

    ^I   am   sure   he   will   take   the   best   wishes   of   all   our   hearts   with 

him wherever he goes�察院�said I�察 �and though they are not riches�察�he 

will never be the poorer for them�察�Guardian�察�at least。 ̄ 

    ^Never�察�little woman�察院�he replied。 

    I  was    sitting  in  my   usual    place�察  �which    was   now    beside    my 

Guardian¨s   chair。   That   had   not   been   my   usual   place   before   the 

letter�察�but it was now。 I looked up at Ada�察�who was sitting opposite�察�

and I saw�察�as she looked at me�察�that her eyes were filled with tears�察�

and that tears were falling down her face。 I felt that I had only to 

be placid and merry once for all to undeceive my dear�察�and set her 

loving heart at rest。 I really was so�察�and I had nothing to do but to 

be myself。 

    So   I   made   my   sweet   girl   lean   upon   my   shoulder!how   little 

thinking   what   was   heavy   on   her   mind� �and   I   said   she   was   not 

quite well�察�and put my arm about her�察�and took her upstairs。 When 

we were in our own room�察�and when she might perhaps have told 

me     what     I   was    so   unprepared       to   hear�察   �I   gave    her    no 

encouragement   to   confide   in   me�察  �I   never   thought   she       stood   in 

need of it。 

    ^O my dear good Esther�察院�said Ada�察 �if I could only make up my 

mind      to  speak    to  you    and    my   cousin     John�察  �when     you    are 

together� 院�

    ^Why�察  �my   love� 院  �I   remonstrated。   ^Ada�拭  �why   should   you   not 

speak to us� 院�

   Ada only dropped her head and pressed me closer to her heart。 

    ^You   surely   don¨t   forget�察   �my   beauty�察院   �said   I�察  �smiling�察  �what 

quiet old´fashioned people we are�察�and how I have settled down to 

be   the   discreetest   of   dames�拭  �You   don¨t   forget   how   happily   and 

peacefully  my life   is   all marked   out   for   me�察  �and   by   whom�拭  �I   am 

certain that you don¨t forget by what a noble character�察�Ada。 That 

can never be。 ̄ 

    ^No�察�never�察�Esther。 ̄ 

    ^Why�察�then�察�my dear�察院�said I�察 �there can be nothing amiss!and 

why should you not speak to us� 院�

    ^Nothing amiss�察�Esther�拭院�returned Ada。 ^O when I think of all 

these years�察�and of his fatherly care and kindness�察�and of the old

    I looked at my child in some wonder�察�but I thought it better not 

to answer�察�otherwise than by cheering her�察�and so I turned off into 

many   little   recollections   of   our   life   together�察  �and   prevented   her 

from saying more。 When she lay down to sleep�察�and not before�察�I 

returned to my Guardian to say good night�察�and then I came back 

to Ada�察�and sat near her for a little while。 

    She was asleep�察�and I thought as I looked at her that she was a 

little changed。 I had thought so�察�more than once lately。 I could not 

decide�察  �even   looking   at   her   while   she   was   unconscious�察  �how   she 

was   changed�察  �but   something   in   the   familiar   beauty   of   he
