heart I had
And when the two Miss Donnys grieved as much to part with
me察as the least among them察and when the maids said察 Bless you察
miss察 wherever you go 院 and when the ugly lame old gardener察
who I thought had hardly noticed me in all those years察 came
panting after the coach to give me a little nosegay of geraniums察
and told me I had been the light of his eyes!indeed the old man
said so what a heart I had then
And could I help it察if with all this察and the coming to the little
school察 and the unexpected sight of the poor children outside
waving their hats and bonnets to me察 and of a grey´haired
gentleman and lady察whose daughter I had helped to teach察and at
whose house I had visited who were said to be the proudest
people in all that country察 caring for nothing察 but calling out察
^Good´bye察Esther。 May you be very happy 院could I help it if I was
quite bowed down in the coach by myself察and said察 O察 I am so
thankful察I am so thankful 院many times over
But of course I soon considered that I must not take tears
where I was going察after all that had been done for me。 Therefore察
of course察 I made myself sob less察 and persuaded myself to be
quiet察by saying very often察 Esther察now you really must This will
not do 院I cheered myself up pretty well at last察though I am afraid
I was longer about it than I ought to have been察and when I had
cooled my eyes with lavender water察 it was time to watch for
London。
I was quite persuaded that we were there察 when we were ten
miles off察and when we really were there察that we should never get

there。 However察 when we began to jolt upon a stone pavement察
and particularly when every other conveyance seemed to be
running into us and we seemed to be running into every other
conveyance察 I began to believe that we really were approaching
the end of our journey。 Very soon afterwards we stopped。
A young gentleman who had inked himself by accident察
addressed me from the pavement察and said察 I am from Kenge and
Carboy¨s察miss察of Lincoln¨s Inn。 ̄
^If you please察sir察院said I。
He was very obliging察 and as he handed me into a fly察 after
superintending the removal of my boxes察 I asked him whether
there was a great fire anywhere拭 For the streets were so full of
dense brown smoke that scarcely anything was to be seen。
^O dear no察miss察院he said。 ^This is a London particular。 ̄
I had never heard of such a thing。
^A fog察miss察院said the young gentleman。
^O indeed 院said I。
We drove slowly through the dirtiest and darkest streets that
ever were seen in the world I thought察and in such a distracting
state of confusion that I wondered how the people kept their
senses察 until we passed into sudden quietude under an old
gateway察and drove on through a silent square until we came to an
odd nook in the corner察where there was an entrance up a steep察
broad flight of stairs察like an entrance to a church。 And there really
was a churchyard察 outside under some cloisters察 for I saw the
gravestones from the staircase window。
This was Kenge and Carboy¨s。 The young gentleman showed
me through an outer office into Mr Kenge¨s room!there was no
one in it!and politely put an armchair for me by the fire。 He then

called my attention to a little looking´glass察hanging from a nail on
one side of the chimney´piece。
^In case you should wish to look at yourself察 miss察 after the
journey察 as you¨re going before the Chancellor。 Not that it¨s
requisite察I am sure察院said the young gentleman civilly。
^Going before the Chancellor拭院I said察startled for a moment。
^Only a matter of form察 miss察院 returned the young gentleman。
^Mr Kenge is in court now。 He left his compliments察 and would
you partake of some refreshment察院 there were biscuits and a
decanter of wine on a small table察 and look over the paper察院
which the young gentleman gave me as he spoke。 He then stirred
the fire and left me。
Everything was so strange!the stranger for its being night in
the daytime察 and the candles burning with a white flame察 and
looking raw and cold!that I read the words in the newspaper
without knowing what they meant察and found myself reading the
same words repeatedly。 As it was of no use going on in that way察I
put the paper down察took a peep at my bonnet in the glass to see if
it was neat察 and looked at the room察 which was not half lighted察
and at the shabby dusty tables察and at the piles of writings察and at
a bookcase full of the most inexpressive´looking books that ever
had anything to say for themselves。 Then I went on察 thinking察
thinking察 thinking察 and the fire went on burning察 burning察
burning察 and the candles went on flickering and guttering察 and
there were no snuffers!until the young gentleman by´and´by
brought a very dirty pair察for two hours。
At last Mr Kenge came。 He was not altered察 but he was
surprised to see how altered I was察 and appeared quite pleased。
^As you are going to be the companion of the young lady who is

now in the Chancellor¨s private room察Miss Summerson察院he said察
^we thought it well that you should be in attendance also。 You will
not be discomposed by the Lord Chancellor察I dare say拭院
^No察 sir察院 I said察 I don¨t think I shall。 ̄ Really not seeing察 on
consideration察why I should be。
So Mr Kenge gave me his arm察and we went round the corner察
under a colonnade察and in at a side door。 And so we came察along a
passage察into a comfortable sort of room察where a young lady and a
young gentleman were standing near a great察loud´roaring fire。 A
screen was interposed between them and it察and they were leaning
on the screen察talking。
They both looked up when I came in察and I saw in the young
lady察 with the fire shining upon her察 such a beautiful girl With
such rich golden hair察 such soft blue eyes察 and such a bright察
innocent察trusting face
^Miss Ada察院said Mr Kenge察 this is Miss Summerson。 ̄
She came to meet me with a smile of welcome察 and her hand
extended察 but seemed to change her mind in a moment察 and
kissed me。 In short察she had such a natural察captivating察 winning
