Guardian¨s taste察which I knew very well of course察I arranged my
wardrobe to please him察and hoped I should be highly successful。 I
did it all so quietly察 because I was not quite free from my old
apprehension that Ada would be rather sorry察 and because my
Guardian was quiet himself。 I had no doubt that under all the
circumstances we should be married in the most private and
simple manner。 Perhaps I should only have to say to Ada察 Would
you like to come and see me married tomorrow察my pet拭院Perhaps
our wedding might even be as unpretending as her own察 and I
might not find it necessary to say anything about it until it was
over。 I thought that if I were to choose察I would like this best。
The only exception I made was Mrs Woodcourt。 I told her that I
was going to be married to my Guardian察 and that we had been
engaged for some time。 She highly approved。 She never could do
enough for me察and was remarkably softened now察in comparison
with what she had been when we first knew her。 There was no
trouble she would have not taken to have been of use to me察but I
need hardly say that I only allowed her to take as little察as gratified

her kindness without tasking it。
Of course this was not a time to neglect my Guardian察 and of
course it was not a time for neglecting my darling。 So I had plenty
of occupation!which I was glad of察 and as to Charley察 she was
absolutely not to be seen for needlework。 To surround herself with
great heaps of it!baskets full and tables full!and do a little察and
spend a great deal of time in staring with her round eyes at what
there was to do察and persuade herself that she was going to do it察
were Charley¨s great dignities and delights。
Meanwhile察I must say I could not agree with my Guardian on
the subject of the Will察and I had some sanguine hopes of Jarndyce
and Jarndyce。 Which of us was right will soon appear察 but I
certainly did encourage expectations。 In Richard察 the discovery
gave occasion for a burst of business and agitation that buoyed
him up for a little time察but he had lost the elasticity even of hope
now察and seemed to me to retain only its feverish anxieties。 From
something my Guardian said one day察when we were talking about
this察 I understood that my marriage would not take place until
after the Term´time we had been told to look forward to察 and I
thought the more察for that察how rejoiced I should be if I could be
married when Richard and Ada were a little more prosperous。
The Term was very near indeed察when my Guardian was called
out of town察 and went down into Yorkshire on Mr Woodcourt¨s
business。 He had told me beforehand that his presence there
would be necessary。 I had just come in one night from my dear
girl¨s察and was sitting in the midst of all my new clothes察looking at
them all around me察 and thinking察 when a letter from my
Guardian was brought to me。 It asked me to join him in the
country察and mentioned by what stage´coach my place was taken察

and at what time in the morning I should have to leave town。 It
added in a postscript that I would not be many hours from Ada。
I expected few things less than a journey at that time察but I was
ready for it in half´an´hour察 and set off as appointed early next
morning。 I travelled all day察 wondering all day what I could be
wanted for at such a distance察now I thought it might be for this
purpose察and now I thought it might be for that purpose察but I was
never察never察never near the truth。
It was night when I came to my journey¨s end察 and found my
Guardian waiting for me。 This was a great relief察 for towards
evening I had begun to fear the more so as his letter was a very
short one that he might be ill。 However察there he was察as well as it
was possible to be察 and when I saw his genial face again at its
brightest and best察I said to myself he has been doing some other
great kindness。 Not that it required much penetration to say that察
because I knew that his being there at all was an act of kindness。
Supper was ready at the hotel察and when we were alone at table
he said此
^Full of curiosity no doubt察 little woman察 to know why I have
brought you here拭院
^Well察Guardian察院said I察 without thinking myself a Fatima察or
you a Blue Beard察I am a little curious about it。 ̄
^Then to ensure your night¨s rest察my love察院he returned察gaily察
^I won¨t wait until tomorrow to tell you。 I have very much wished
to express to Woodcourt察 somehow察 my sense of his humanity to
poor unfortunate Jo察his inestimable services to my young cousins察
and his value to us all。 When it was decided that he should settle
here察it came into my head that I might ask his acceptance of some
unpretending and suitable little place察 to lay his own head in。 I

therefore caused such a place to be looked out for察 and such a
place was found on very easy terms察and I have been touching it
up for him and making it habitable。 However察when I walked over
it the day before yesterday察and it was reported ready察I found that
I was not housekeeper enough to know whether things were all as
they ought to be。 So I sent off for the best little housekeeper that
could possibly be got察to come and give me her advice and opinion。
And here she is察院 said my Guardian察 laughing and crying both
together 院
Because he was so dear察 so good察 so admirable。 I tried to tell
him what I thought of him察but I could not articulate a word。
^Tut察tut 院said my Guardian。 ^You make too much of it察 little
woman。 Why how you sob察Dame Durden察how you sob 院
^It is with exquisite pleasure察 Guardian!with a heart full of
thanks。 ̄
^Well察 well察院 said he。 ^I am delighted that you approve。 I
thought you would。 I meant it as a pleasant surprise for the little
mistress of Bleak House。 ̄
I kissed him察and dried my eyes。 ^I know now 院said I。 ^I have
seen this in your face a long while。 ̄
^No察have you really察my dear拭院said he。 ^What a Dame Durden
it is to read a face 院
He was so quaintly cheerful that I could not long be otherwise察
and was almost ashamed of having been otherwise at all。 When I
went to bed察I cried。 I am bound to confess that I cried察but I hope
it was with pleasure察 though I am not quite sure it was with
pleasure。 I repeated every word of the letter twice over。
A most beautiful summer morning succeeded察 and after
breakfast we went out arm in arm察to see the house of which I was
