until the loss which we all deplore�察�I was gravelled!an expression 

which your Ladyship�察�moving in the higher circles�察�will be so good 

as   to  consider     tantamount      to  knocked     over。   Small    likewise!a 

name by which I refer to another party�察�a friend of mine that your 

Ladyship   is   not  acquainted   with!got   to   be   so   close   and   double´ 

faced   that at  times it  wasn¨t  easy  to  keep   one¨s   hands   off   his   ed。 

However�察�what with the exertion of my humble abilities�察�and what 

with the help of a mutual friend by the name of Mr Tony Weevle 

��who     is  of  a  high   aristocratic    turn�察  �and    has   your   Ladyship¨s 

portrait always hanging up in his room���察�I have now reasons for an 

apprehension�察�as to which I come to put your Ladyship upon your 

guard。 First�察�will your Ladyship allow me to ask you whether you 

have     had    any    strange    visitors   this   morning�拭     �I  don¨t    mean 

fashionable       visitors�察 �but    such    visitors�察  �for  instance�察   �as   Miss 

Barbary¨s old servant�察�or as a person without the use of his lower 

extremities�察�carried upstairs similarly to a Guy�拭院�

    ^No� 院�

    ^Then I assure your Ladyship that such visitors have been here 

and have been received here。 Because I saw them at the door�察�and

waited at the corner of the square till they came out�察�and took half´ 

an´hour¨s turn afterwards to avoid them。 ̄ 

    ^What      have   I  to  do  with    that�察 �or  what    have    you�拭  �I  do   not 

understand you。 What do you mean�拭院�

    ^Your Ladyship�察�I come to put you on   your  guard。   There   may 

be no occasion for it。 Very well。 Then I have only done my best to 

keep   my   promise   to   Miss   Summerson。   I   strongly   suspect   ��from 

what Small has dropped�察�and from what we have corkscrewed out 

of him�� that those letters I was to have brought to your Ladyship 

were not destroyed when I supposed they were。 That if there was 

anything   to   be   blown   upon�察  �it   is   blown   upon。   That   the   visitors   I 

have alluded to have been here this morning to make money of it。 

And that the money is made�察�or making。 ̄ 

    Mr Guppy picks up his hat and rises。 

    ^Your   Ladyship�察  �you   know   best�察  �whether   there¨s   anything   in 

what   I   say�察  �or   whether   there¨s   nothing。   Something   or   nothing�察  �I 

have acted up to Miss Summerson¨s wishes in letting things alone�察�

and in undoing what I had begun to do�察�as   far  as possible�察  �that¨s 

sufficient   for   me。   In   case   I   should   be   taking   a   liberty   in   putting 

your Ladyship on your guard when there¨s no necessity for it�察�you 

will   endeavour�察  �I   should   hope�察  �to   outlive   my   presumption�察  �and   I 

shall   endeavour   to   outlive   your   disapprobation。   I   now   take   my 

farewell of your Ladyship�察�and assure you that there¨s no danger 

of your ever being waited on by me again。 ̄ 

    She   scarcely   acknowledges   these   parting   words   by   any   look�察�

but when he has been gone a little while she rings her bell。 

    ^Where is Sir Leicester�拭院�

    Mercury   reports   that   he   is   at   present   shut   up   in   the   library�察�

alone。

    ^Has Sir Leicester had any visitors this morning�拭院�

    Several on business。 Mercury proceeds to a description of them�察�

which has been anticipated by Mr Guppy。 Enough�此�he may go。 

    So� �All is broken down。 Her name is in these many mouths�察�her 

husband knows his wrongs�察�her shame will be published!may be 

spreading       while   she    thinks   about    it!and      in  addition    to   the 

thunderbolt so long foreseen by her�察�so unforeseen by him�察�she is 

denounced by an invisible accuser as the murderess of her enemy。 

    Her enemy he was�察�and she has often�察�often�察�often�察�wished him 

dead。 Her enemy he is�察�even in his grave。 This dreadful accusation 

comes upon her�察�like a new torment at his lifeless hand。 And when 

she   recalls   how  she   was   secretly  at  his door  that   night�察  �and   how 

she   may  be   represented   to   have   sent   her   favourite   girl   away�察  �so 

soon     before�察  �merely     to  release    herself    from    observation�察    �she 

shudders as if the hangman¨s hands were at her neck。 

    She has thrown herself upon the floor�察�and lies with her hair all 

wildly scattered�察�and   her  face buried  in  the   cushions   of   a   couch。 

She   rises   up�察  �hurries   to   and   fro�察  �flings   herself   down   again�察  �and 

rocks   and moans。   The   horror   that   is   upon   her�察  �is   unutterable。   If 

she really were the murderess�察�it could hardly be�察�for the moment�察�

more intense。 

    For�察  �as   her   murderous      perspective�察    �before   the   doing    of  the 

deed�察  �however   subtle   the   precautions   for   its   commission�察  �would 

have been closed up by a gigantic dilatation of the hateful figure�察�

preventing   her   from   seeing   any   consequences   beyond   it�察  �and   as 

those     consequences       would    have    rushed     in�察 �in  an   unimagined 

flood�察�the moment the figure was laid low!which always happens 

when a murder is done�察�so�察�now she sees that when he used to be 

on   the   watch   before   her�察  �and   she   used   to   think�察   �if  some   mortal

stroke would but fall on this old man and take him from my way� 院�

it was but wishing that all he held against her in his hand might be 

flung to the winds�察�and chance´sown in many places。 So�察�too�察�with 

the wicked relief she has felt in his death。 What was his death but 

the keystone of a gloomy arch removed�察�and now the arch begins 

to   fall  in  a  thousand      fragments�察    �each    crushing    and    mangling 

piecemeal� �

    Thus�察  �a   terrible  impression   steals   upon   and   overshadows   her�察�

that     from      this    pursuer�察     �living    or    dead!obdurate           and 

imperturbable   before   her   in   his   well´remembered   shape�察  �or   not 

more  obdurate and   imperturbable  in   his   coffin´bed�察�there   is   no 

escape   but   in   death。   Hunted�察  �she   flies。   The   complication   of   her 

shame�察  �her   dread�察     �remorse�察   �and   misery�察   �overwhelms       her   at   its 

height�察  �and   even   her   strength   of   self´reliance   is   overturned   and 

whirled away�察�like a leaf before a mighty wind。 

    She hurriedly addresses these lines to her husband�察�seals�察�and 

leaves them on her table。 



    ^If I am sought for�察�or accused of�察�his murder�察�believe that I am 

wholly innocent。 Believe no other good of me�察�for I am innocent of 

nothing else that you have heard�察�or will hear�察�laid to my charge。 

He prepared me on that fatal night�察�for his disclosure of my guilt to 

you。 After he had left me�察�I went out�察�on pretence of walking in the 

garden      where    I  sometimes   walk�察  �but   really   to   follow    him�察  �and 

make   one   last   petition   that   he   would   not   protract   the   dreadful 

suspense on which I have been   racked by  him�察  �you  do not  know 

how long�察�but would mercifully strike next morning。 

    ^I found his house dark and silent。 I rang twice at his door�察�but 

there was no reply�察�and I came home。

    ^I have no home left。 I will encumber you no more。 May you�察�in 

your   just   resentment�察  �be   able   to   forget   the   unworthy   woman   on 

whom   you   have   wasted   a   most   generous   devotion!who   avoids 

you�察  �only  with  a   deeper shame  than   that  with  which   she   hurries 

from herself!and who writes this last adieu� 院�



    She   veils   and   dresses     quickly�察   �leaves   all  her   jewels   and    her 

money�察     �listens�察  �goes   downstairs   at     a  moment      when     the  hall   is 

empty�察�opens and shuts the great door�察�flutters away�察�in the shrill�察�
