    ^By all means。 ̄ 

    ^!I should prefer the course which will the soonest relieve you 

of the incumbrance察and remove her from her present position。 ̄ 

    ^And   to  speak as plainly察院  she   returns察  with   the   same   studied 

carelessness察 so should I。 Do I understand that you will take her 

with you拭院

    The iron gentleman makes an iron bow。 

    ^Sir   Leicester察  will   you   ring拭院  Mr   Tulkinghorn   steps   forward 

from   his   window  and   pulls   the  bell。 ^I   had   forgotten   you。   Thank 

you。 ̄    He    makes    his   usual   bow察   and   goes   quietly    back   again。 

Mercury察swift responsive察appears察receives instructions whom to 

produce察skims away察produces the aforesaid察and departs。 

    Rosa has been crying察and is yet in distress。 On her coming in察

the ironmaster leaves his chair察takes her arm in his察and remains 

with her near the door ready to depart。 

    ^You are taken charge of察you see察院says my Lady察in her weary 

manner察   and   are   going   away   well   protected。   I   have   mentioned 

that you are a very good girl察and you have nothing to cry for。 ̄ 

    ^She    seems     after  all察院 observes    Mr   Tulkinghorn察     loitering   a 

little forward with his hands behind him察 as if she were crying at 

going away。 ̄ 

    ^Why察  she   is   not   well´bred察  you   see察院  returns   Mr   Rouncewell 

with some quickness in his manner察as if he were glad to have the 

lawyer   to   retort   upon察   and   she   is   an   inexperienced   little   thing察

and   knows   no   better。   If   she   had   remained   here察  sir察  she   would 

have improved察no doubt。 ̄ 

    ^No doubt察院is Mr Tulkinghorn¨s composed reply。 

    Rosa sobs out that she is very sorry to leave my Lady察and that 

she   was   happy   at   Chesney   Wold察  and   has   been   happy   with   my

Lady察and that she thanks my Lady over and over again。 ^Out察you 

silly little puss 院says the ironmaster察checking her in a low voice察

though not angrily察 have a spirit察if you¨re fond of Wat 院My Lady 

merely      waves    her   off  with   indifference察    saying察   There察   there察

child。    You     are   a   good     girl。  Go    away 院    Sir   Leicester     has 

magnificently   disengaged          himself   from    the   subject察  and   retired 

into the sanctuary of his blue coat。 Mr Tulkinghorn察an indistinct 

form against the dark street now dotted with lamps察looms in my 

lady¨s view察bigger and blacker than before。 

    ^Sir Leicester and Lady Dedlock察院says Mr Rouncewell察after a 

pause of a few moments察 I beg to take my leave察with an apology 

for having again troubled you察though not of my own act察on this 

tiresome   subject。   I   can   very   well   understand察  I   assure   you察  how 

tiresome so small a matter must have become to Lady Dedlock。 If I 

am doubtful of  my dealing  with  it察  it  is   only  because   I   did not  at 

first quietly exert my influence to take my young friend here away察

without   troubling   you   at   all。   But   it   appeared   to   me!I   dare   say 

magnifying the importance of the thing!that it was respectful to 

explain   to  you  how  the   matter  stood察  and   candid   to consult   your 

wishes     and    convenience。      I  hope    you   will  excuse     my   want    of 

acquaintance with the polite world。 ̄ 

    Sir Leicester considers himself evoked out of the sanctuary by 

these remarks。 ^Mr  Rouncewell察院  he   returns察   do  not  mention  it。 

Justifications are unnecessary察I hope察on either side。 ̄ 

    ^I am glad to hear it察Sir Leicester察and if I may by way of a last 

word察revert to what I said before of my mother¨s long connection 

with the family察and the worth it bespeaks on both sides察I would 

point out this little instance here on my arm察who shows herself so 

affectionate   and   faithful   in   parting察  and   in   whom   my   mother察  I

dare say察has done something to awaken such feelings!though of 

course     Lady    Dedlock察    by   her   heartfelt    interest   and    her   genial 

condescension察has done much more 院

    If he means this ironically察it may be  truer  than   he   thinks。   He 

points     it察 however察    by   no   deviation     from     his  straightforward 

manner of speech察though in saying it he turns towards that part 

of the dim room where my Lady sits。 Sir Leicester stands to return 

his parting salutation察Mr Tulkinghorn again rings。 Mercury takes 

another flight察and Mr Rouncewell and Rosa leave the house。 

    Then   lights   are   brought   in察  discovering   Mr   Tulkinghorn   still 

standing in his window with his hands behind him察and my Lady 

still  sitting  with  his  figure   before   her察  closing   up   her   view   of   the 

night   as    well   as  of   the  day。  She    is   very   pale。  Mr  Tulkinghorn 

observing it as   she   rises   to  retire察  thinks察   Well   she may be  The 

power of this woman is astonishing。 She has been acting a part the 

whole     time。 ̄    But    he  can    act  a  part   too!his      one   unchanging 

character!and   as   he   holds   the   door   open   for   this   woman察  fifty 

pairs   of   eyes察  each   fifty   times   sharper   than   Sir   Leicester¨s   pair察

should find no flaw in him。 

    Lady Dedlock dines alone in her own room today。 Sir Leicester 

is   whipped       in  to   the   rescue     of  the   Doodle      Party察   and    the 

discomfiture of the Coodle Faction。 Lady Dedlock asks察on sitting 

down   to  dinner察still   deadly  pale   and   quite an illustration   of  the 

debilitated   cousin¨s   text察  whether   he   is   gone   out拭  Yes。   Whether 

Mr  Tulkinghorn   is   gone   yet拭 No。   Presently  she   asks   again察  is   he 

gone  yet拭  No。   What   is   he   doing拭  Mercury   thinks   he   is        writing 

letters in the library。 Would my Lady wish to  see   him拭 Anything 

but that。 

    But he wishes to see my Lady。 Within a few more minutes he is

reported   as   sending   his   respects察  and   could   my   Lady   please   to 

receive   him   for   a   word   or   two   after   her   dinner拭  My   Lady   will 

receive   him now。   He   comes   now察  apologising   for   intruding察  even 

by her permission察while she is at table。 When they are alone察my 

Lady waves her hand to dispense with such mockeries。 

    ^What do you want察sir拭院

    ^Why察Lady Dedlock察院says the lawyer察taking a chair at a little 

distance from her察and slowly rubbing his rusty legs up and down察

up and down察up and down察 I am rather surprised by the course 

you have taken。 ̄ 

    ^Indeed拭院

    ^Yes察   decidedly。    I  was    not  prepared      for  it。  I  consider   it  a 

departure   from   our  agreement and   your  promise。 It  puts   us   in   a 

new  position察  Lady   Dedlock。   I   feel   myself   under   the   necessity   of 

saying that I don¨t approve of it。 ̄ 

    He stops in his rubbing察and looks at her察with his hands on his 

knees。 Imperturbable and unchangeable as he is察there is   still  an 

indefinable freedom in his manner察which is new察and which does 

not escape this woman¨s observation。 

    ^I do not quite understand you。 ̄
