hot   iron�察  �white´hot   iron�察  �cold´black   iron�察  �an   iron   taste�察 �an   iron 

smell�察�and a Babel of iron sounds。 

    ^This is a place to make a make a man¨s head ache�察�too� 院�says 

the trooper�察�looking about him for a counting´house。 ^Who comes 

here�拭�This is very like me before I was set up。 This ought to be my 

nephew�察�if likenesses run in families。 Your servant�察�sir。 ̄ 

    ^Yours�察�sir。 Are you looking for any one�拭院�

    ^Excuse me。 Young Mr Rouncewell�察�I believe�拭院�

    ^Yes。 ̄ 

    ^I was looking for your father�察�sir。 I wished to have a word with 

him。 ̄ 

    The   young   man�察  �telling   him   he   is   fortunate   in   his   choice   of   a 

time�察�for his father is there�察�leads the way to the office where he is 

to be found。 ^Very like me before I was set up!devilish like me� 院�

thinks the trooper�察�as   he   follows。   They  come  to  a   building in   the 

yard�察�with an office on an upper floor。 At sight of the gentleman in 

the office�察�Mr George turns very red。 

    ^What name shall I say to my father�拭院�asks the young man。 

    George full of the idea of iron�察�in desperation answers ^Steel�察院�

and   is   so   presented。   He   is   left   alone   with   the   gentleman   in   the 

office�察�who sits at a table with account´books before him�察�and some 

sheets    of  paper�察   �blotted   with   hosts   of  figures   and   drawings     of 

cunning shapes。 It is a bare office�察�with bare windows�察�looking on 

the   iron   view   below。    Tumbled      together    on   the  table   are  some 

pieces of iron�察�purposely broken to be tested�察�at various periods of 

their    service�察   �in   various     capacities。    There     is   iron´dust     on 

everything�察 �and   the   smoke   is   seen�察  �through   the   windows�察  �rolling 

heavily out of the tall chimneys�察�to mingle with the smoke from a 

vaporous Babylon of other chimneys。

    ^I am at your service�察�Mr Steel�察院�says the gentleman�察�when his 

visitor has taken a rustic chair。 

    ^Well�察  �Mr   Rouncewell�察院  �George   replies�察  �leaning   forward�察  �with 

his left arm on his knee�察�and his hat in his hand�察�and very chary of 

meeting his brother¨s eye�察 �I am not without my expectations�察�that 

in the present visit I may  prove   to  be more   free   than   welcome。   I 

have served as a dragoon in my day�察�and a comrade of mine that I 

was once rather partial to�察�was�察�if I don¨t deceive myself�察�a brother 

of   yours。   I   believe   you   had   a   brother   who   gave   his   family   some 

trouble�察  �and   ran   away�察  �and   never   did   any   good   but   in   keeping 

away�拭院�

    ^Are    you   quite    sure�察院  �returns    the  ironmaster�察     �in  an   altered 

voice�察 �that your name is Steel�拭院�

    The trooper falters and looks at him。 His brother starts up�察�calls 

him by his name�察�and grasps him by both hands。 

    ^You   are   too   quick   for   me� 院  �cries   the   trooper�察  �with   the   tears 

springing  out  of  his   eyes。   ^How  do  you  do�察�my  dear   old   fellow。   I 

never could have thought you would have been half so glad to see 

me as all this。 How do you do�察�my dear old fellow�察�how do you do� 院�

    They     shake    hands�察   �and   embrace      each   other�察  �over    and   over 

again�察�the trooper still coupling his ^How do you do�察�my dear old 

fellow� 院  �with   his   protestation   that   he   never   thought   his   brother 

would have been half so glad to see him as all this� �

    ^So far from it�察院�he declares�察�at the end of a full account of what 

has   preceded   his   arrival   there�察   �I   had   very   little   idea   of   making 

myself known。 I thought�察�if you took by any  means  forgivingly  to 

my name�察�I might gradually get myself up to the point of writing a 

letter。   But  I   should   not   have  been   surprised�察  �brother�察  �if   you   had 

considered it anything but welcome news to hear of me。 ̄

    ^We   will   show   you   at   home   what   kind   of   news      we   think   it�察�

George�察院�returns his brother。 ^This is a great day at home�察�and you 

could   not   have   arrived�察  �you   bronzed   old   soldier�察  �on   a   better。     I 

make   an     agreement   with   my   son   Watt   today�察       �that   on  this  day 

twelvemonth   he   shall   marry   as   pretty   and   as   good   a   girl   as   you 

have seen in all your travels。 She goes to Germany tomorrow�察�with 

one  of  your  nieces�察 �for  a   little  polishing  up   in   her   education。   We 

make a feast of the event�察�and you will be made the hero of it。 ̄ 

    Mr George is so entirely overcome at first by this prospect�察�that 

he    resists   the  proposed      honour     with   great    earnestness。     Being 

overborne�察�however�察�by his   brother  and  his nephew!concerning 

whom       he   renews     his  protestations      that   he   never    could    have 

thought they would have been half so glad to see him!he is taken 

home to an elegant house�察�in all the arrangements of which there 

is to be observed a pleasant mixture of the originally simple habits 

of the father and mother�察�with such as are suited to their altered 

station and the higher fortunes of their children。 Here�察�Mr George 

is   much     dismayed      by   the  graces    and    accomplishments         of  his 

nieces that are�察�and by the beauty of Rosa�察�his niece that is to be�察�

and by the affectionate salutations of these young ladies�察�which he 

receives in a sort of dream。   He is sorely  taken   aback�察  �too�察�by  the 

dutiful behaviour of his nephew�察�and   has   a   woeful  consciousness 

upon him of being a scapegrace。 However�察�there is great rejoicing�察�

and     a  very   hearty    company�察      �and   infinite   enjoyment�察     �and    Mr 

George comes bluff and martial through it all�察�and his pledge to be 

present at the marriage and give away the bride�察�is received with 

universal favour。 A whirling head has Mr George that night�察�when 

he lies down in the state´bed of his brother¨s house�察�to think of all 

these   things�察  �and   to   see   the   images   of   his   nieces   ��awful   all   the

manner�察�over his counterpane。 

   The     brothers    are  closeted   next   morning   in    the  ironmaster¨s 

room�察�where the elder is proceeding�察�in his clear�察�sensible way�察�to 

show how he thinks he may best dispose of George in his business�察�

when George squeezes his hand and stops him。 

    ^Brother�察    �I  thank   you   a  million    times   for  your   more    than 

brotherly welcome�察�and a million times more to that for your more 

than brotherly intentions。 But my plans are made。 Before I say a 

word   as   to   them�察  �I   wish   to   consult   you   upon   one   family   point。 

How! ̄       says   the   trooper�察  �folding   his   arms�察  �and   looking    with 

indomitable firmness at his brother!^how is my mother to be got 

to scratch me�拭院�

    ^I  am    not  sure   that  I  understand     you�察  �George�察院   �replies   the 

ironmaster。 

    ^I say�察�brother�察�how is my mother to be got to scratch me�拭�She 

must be got to do it�察�somehow。 ̄ 

    ^Scratch you out of her will�察�I think you mean�拭院�

    ^Of   course   I   do。   In   short�察院  �says   the   trooper�察  �folding   his   arms 

more resolutely yet�察 �I mean!to!scratch me�拭院�

    ^My  dear  George�察院  �returns   his  brother�察   �is   it  so   indispensable 

that you should undergo that process�拭院�

    ^Quite�    �Absolutely�    �I  couldn¨t   be   guilty  of  the   meanness      of 

coming back without it。 I should never be safe not to be off again。 I 

have    not   sneaked     home    to  rob   your   children�察  �if  not  yourself�察�

brother�察�of your rights。 I�察�who forfeited mine�察�long ago� �If I am to 

remain�察�and hold up my head�察�I must be scratched。 Come。 You are 

a man of celebrated penetration and intelligence�察�and you can tell 

me how it¨s to be brought about。 ̄
