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
