Sir Leicester¨s magnificence explodes。 Calmly察but terribly。
^Mr Rouncewell察院says Sir Leicester察with his right hand in the
breast of his blue coat!the attitude of state in which he is painted
in the gallery此 do you draw a parallel between Chesney Wold察and
a! ̄ here he resists a disposition to choke!^a factory拭院
^I need not reply察 Sir Leicester察 that the two places are very
different察but察for the purposes of this case察I think a parallel may
be justly drawn between them。 ̄
Sir Leicester directs his majestic glance down one side of the
long drawing´room察 and up the other察 before he can believe that
he is awake。
^Are you aware察sir察that this young woman whom my Lady!
my Lady!has placed near her person察 was brought up at the
village school outside the gates拭院
^Sir Leicester察I am quite aware of it。 A very good school it is察
and handsomely supported by this family。 ̄
^Then察Mr Rouncewell察院returns Sir Leicester察 the application
of what you have said察is察to me察incomprehensible。 ̄
^Will it be more comprehensible察 Sir Leicester察 if I say察院 the
ironmaster is reddening a little察 that I do not regard the village´
school as teaching everything desirable to be known by my son¨s
wife拭院
From the village school of Chesney Wold察 intact as it is this

framework of society察 to the aforesaid framework receiving
tremendous cracks in consequence of people ironmasters察 lead´
mistresses察and what not not minding their catechism察and getting
out of the station unto which they are called!necessarily and for
ever察 according to Sir Leicester¨s rapid logic察 the first station in
which they happen to find themselves察 and from that察 to their
educating other people out of their stations察and so obliterating the
landmarks察and opening the floodgates察and all the rest of it察this is
the swift progress of the Dedlock mind。
^My Lady察I beg your pardon。 Permit me for one moment 院She
has given a faint indication of intending to speak。 ^Mr Rouncewell察
our views of duty察 and our views of station察 and our views of
education察 and our views of!in short察 all our views!are so
diametrically opposed察 that to prolong this discussion must be
repellant to your feelings察 and repellant to my own。 This young
woman is honoured with my Lady¨s notice and favour。 If she
wishes to withdraw herself from that notice and favour察 or if she
chooses to place herself under the influence of any one who may察
in his peculiar opinions!you will allow me to say察in his peculiar
opinions察 though I readily admit that he is not accountable for
them to me!who may察 in his peculiar opinions察 withdraw her
from that notice and favour察she is at any time at liberty to do so。
We are obliged to you for the plainness with which you have
spoken。 It will have no effect of itself察 one way or other察 on the
young woman¨s position here。 Beyond this察we can make no terms察
and here we beg!if you will be so good!to leave the subject。 ̄
The visitor pauses a moment to give my Lady an opportunity察
but she says nothing。 He then rises and replies此
^Sir Leicester and Lady Dedlock察 allow me to thank you for

your attention察 and only to observe that I shall very seriously
recommend my son to conquer his present inclinations。 Good
night 院
^Mr Rouncewell察院 says Sir Leicester察 with all the nature of a
gentleman shining in him察 it is late察 and the roads are dark。 I
hope your time is not so precious but that you will allow my Lady
and myself to offer you the hospitality of Chesney Wold察 for
tonight at least。 ̄
^I hope so察院adds my Lady。
^I am much obliged to you察 but I have to travel all night察 in
order to reach a distant part of the country察 punctually at an
appointed time in the morning。 ̄
Therewith the ironmaster takes his departure察 Sir Leicester
ringing the bell察and my Lady rising as he leaves the room。
When my Lady goes to her boudoir察she sits down thoughtfully
by the fire察 and察 inattentive to the Ghost¨s Walk察 looks at Rosa察
writing in an inner room。 Presently my Lady calls her。
^Come to me察child。 Tell me the truth。 Are you in love拭院
^O My lady 院
My Lady察 looking at the downcast and blushing face察 says
smiling此
^Who is it拭Is it Mrs Rouncewell¨s grandson拭院
^Yes察if you please察my Lady。 But I don¨t know that I am in love
with him!yet。 ̄
^Yet察you silly little thing Do you know that he loves you察yet拭院
^I think he likes me a little察 my Lady。 ̄ And Rosa bursts into
tears。

her with eyes so full of musing interest拭Aye察indeed it is
^Listen to me察child。 You are young and true察and I believe you
are attached to me。 ̄
^Indeed I am察my Lady。 Indeed there is nothing in the world I
wouldn¨t do察to show how much。 ̄
^And I don¨t think you would wish to leave me just yet察 Rosa察
even for a lover。 ̄
^No察 my Lady O no 院 Rosa looks up for the first time察 quite
frightened at the thought。
^Confide in me察my child。 Don¨t fear me。 I wish you to be happy察
and will make you so!if I can make anybody happy on this earth。 ̄
Rosa察with fresh tears察kneels at her feet and kisses her hand。
My Lady takes the hand with which she has caught it察 and察
standing with her eyes fixed on the fire察 puts it about and about
between her own two hands察and gradually lets it fall。 Seeing her
so absorbed察Rosa softly withdraws察but still my Lady¨s eyes are on
the fire。
In search of what拭 Of any hand that is no more察 of any hand
that never was察 of any touch that might have magically changed
her life拭 Or does she listen to the Ghost¨s Walk察 and think what
step does it most resemble拭A man¨s拭A woman¨s拭The pattering
of a little child¨s feet察 ever coming on´on´on拭 Some melancholy
influence is upon her察 or why should so proud a lady close the
doors察and sit alone upon the hearth so desolate拭
