Charley察    with   which   view察    I  said察  You¨re    getting    quite   strong察

Charley察are you not拭院

    ^O quite 院said Charley。 

    ^Strong enough to be told a secret察I think察Charley拭院

    ^Quite     strong    enough      for   that察 miss 院    cried   Charley。     But 

Charley¨s   face   fell   in   the   height   of   her   delight察  for   she   saw   the 

secret   in  my   face察  and   she   came   out   of   the   great   chair察  and   fell 

upon my bosom察and said ^O miss察it¨s my doing It¨s my  doing 院

and a great deal more察out of the fulness of her grateful heart。 

    ^Now察Charley察院said I察after letting her go on for a little while察

^if I am to be ill察my great trust察humanly speaking察is in you。 And 

unless you are as quiet and composed for me察as you always were 

for yourself察you can never fulfil it察Charley。 ̄ 

    ^If you¨ll let me cry  a  little longer察miss察院  said   Charley。   ^O my 

dear察   my    dear   if  you¨ll  only   let  me   cry   a  little  longer察  O   my 

dear 院how  affectionately  and  devotedly  she poured   this   out察  as 

she clung to my neck察  I never  can   remember  without  tears!^I¨ll 

be good。 ̄ 

    So I let Charley cry a little longer察and it did us both good。 

    ^Trust in me now察if you please察miss察院said Charley察quietly。 ^I 

am listening to everything you say。 ̄ 

    ^It   is  very   little  at   present察 Charley。    I  shall  tell  your   doctor 

tonight   that   I   don¨t   think   I   am   well察  and   that   you   are   going   to 

nurse me。 ̄ 

    For that the poor child thanked me with her whole heart。 

    ^And in the morning察when you hear Miss Ada in the garden察if 

I should not be quite able to go to the window´curtain as usual察do 

you   go察  Charley察  and   say   I   am   asleep!that   I   have   rather   tired 

myself察and am asleep。 At all times keep the room as I have kept it察

Charley察and let no one come。 ̄ 

    Charley promised察and I lay down察for I was very heavy。 I saw 

the doctor that night察and asked the favour of him that I wished to 

ask察relative to his saying nothing of my illness in the house as yet。 

I   have   a   very   indistinct   remembrance   of   that   night   melting   into 

day察and of day melting into night again察but I was just able察on the 

first morning察to get to the window察and speak to my darling。 

    On   the   second   morning   I   heard   her   dear   voice!O   how   dear 

now outside察and I asked  Charley察  with  some   difficulty  speech 

being   painful   to   me察   to   go   and  say   I  was   asleep。  I  heard   her 

answer softly察 Don¨t disturb her察Charley察for the world 院

    ^How does my own Pride look察Charley拭院I inquired。 

    ^Disappointed察       miss察院   said   Charley察    peeping      through     the 

curtain。 

    ^But I know she is very beautiful this morning。 ̄ 

    ^She is indeed察miss察院answered Charley察peeping。 ^Still looking 

up at the window。 ̄ 

    With her blue clear eyes察God bless them察always loveliest when 

raised like that 

    I called Charley to me察and gave her her last charge。 

    ^Now察  Charley察  when she   knows   I   am   ill察  she   will   try  to   make 

her way into the room。 Keep her out察Charley察if you love me truly察

to the last Charley察if you let her in but once察only to look upon me 

for one moment as I lie here察I shall die。 ̄ 

    ^I never will I never will 院she promised me。 

    ^I believe it察my dear Charley。 And now come and sit beside me 

for a little while察and touch me with your hand。 For I   cannot  see 

you察Charley察I am blind。 ̄

                          The Appointed Time 



      t is night in Lincoln¨s Inn!perplexed and troublous valley of 

      the shadow of the law察where suitors generally find but  little 

Iday!and   fat   candles   are   snuffed   out   in   offices察  and           clerks 



have rattled down the crazy wooden stairs察and dispersed。 The bell 

that   rings   at   nine   o¨clock察  has   ceased   its   doleful   clangour   about 

nothing察the gates are shut察and the night´porter察a solemn warder 

with a mighty power of sleep察keeps guard in his lodge。 From tiers 

of   staircase    windows察     clogged     lamps     like  the   eyes   of   Equity察

bleared Argus with a fathomless pocket for every eye and an eye 

upon   it察  dimly   blink   at   the   stars。   In   dirty   upper   casements察  here 

and   there察  hazy   little   patches   of   candlelight   reveal   where   some 

wise draughtsman and conveyancer yet toils for the entanglement 

of real estate in meshes of sheepskin察in the average ratio of about 

a dozen of sheep to an acre of land。 Over which bee´like industry察

these   benefactors   of   their   species   linger   yet察  though   office´hours 

be past此that they may give察  for  every  day察  some   good   account at 

last。 

    In   the   neighbouring   court察  where   the   Lord   Chancellor   of   the 

Rag and Bottle shop   dwells察  there   is   a   general  tendency  towards 

beer   and   supper。   Mrs   Piper   and   Mrs   Perkins察  whose   respective 

sons察  engaged   with   a   circle   of  acquaintance   in   the   game   of   hide 

and     seek察  have    been    lying   in   ambush      about    the   by´ways      of 

Chancery Lane for some hours察and scouring the plain of the same 

thoroughfare to the confusion of passengers!Mrs Piper and Mrs

Perkins have but now exchanged congratulations on the children 

being abed察and they still linger on a doorstep over a few parting 

words。 Mr Krook and his lodger察and the fact of Mr Krook¨s being 

^continually       in  liquor察院   and   the   testamentary       prospects      of  the 

young man are察as usual察the staple of their conversation。 But they 

have   something  to  say察  likewise察  of  the   Harmonic   Meeting  at   the 

Sol¨s    Arms察    where    the   sound     of  the  piano    through     the   partly´ 

opened windows jingles out into the court察and where little Swills察

after  keeping  the   lovers   of  harmony  in a   roar  like a   very   Yorick察

may now be heard taking the gruff line in a concerted piece察and 

sentimentally   adjuring   his   friends   and   patrons   to   Listen察  listen察

opinions on the subject of the young lady of professional celebrity

herself     in  the   manuscript       announcement         in   the   window察     Mrs 

Perkins possessing information that she has been married a year 

and   a   half察  though   announced   as   Miss   M。   Melvilleson察  the   noted
