breakfast we went out arm in arm察to see the house of which I was

                                    Bleak House                                    1175 



to   give   my   mighty   housekeeping   opinion。   We   entered   a   flower´ 

garden by a gate in a side wall察of which he had the key察and the 

first thing I saw察was察that the beds and flowers   were   all laid   out 

according to the manner of my beds and flowers at home。 

    ^You see察my dear察院observed my Guardian察standing still察with 

a delighted   face察  to  watch  my  looks察   knowing  there   could be   no 

better plan察I borrowed yours。 ̄ 

    We went on by a pretty little orchard察where the cherries were 

nestling   among   the   green   leaves察  and   the   shadows   of   the   apple´ 

trees   were   sporting   on   the   grass察  to   the   house   itself察a   cottage察

quite   a   rustic   cottage   of  doll¨s  rooms察  but   such   a   lovely   place察  so 

tranquil   and   so   beautiful察  with   such   a   rich   and   smiling   country 

spread   around   it察  with   water   sparkling   away   into   the        distance察

here all overhung with summer growth察there turning a humming´ 

mill察   at  its  nearest    point    glancing     through     a  meadow       by   the 

cheerful   town察  where   cricket´players   were   assembling   in   bright 

groups察and a flag was flying from a white tent that rippled in the 

sweet west wind。 And still察as we went through the pretty rooms察

out   at   the   little   rustic   verandah   doors察  and   underneath   the   tiny 

wooden       colonnades察      garlanded      with    woodbine察      jasmine察    and 

honeysuckle察I saw in the papering on the walls察in the colours of 

the furniture察in the arrangement of all the pretty objects my little 

tastes   and   fancies察 my   little   methods   and   inventions   which   they 

used     to   laugh     at   while    they    praised     them察    my    odd    ways 

everywhere。 

    I   could   not    say   enough     in  admiration       of  what    was    all  so 

beautiful察but one secret doubt arose in my mind察when I saw this。 

I thought察O would he be the happier for it Would it not have been 

better for his peace that I should not have been so brought before

him拭  Because察  although   I   was   not   what   he   thought   me察  still   he 

loved me very dearly察and it might remind him mournfully of what 

he believed he had lost。 I did not wish him to forget me察perhaps 

he might not have done so察without these aids to his memory察but 

my   way   was   easier   than   his察  and   I   could   have   reconciled   myself 

even to that察so that he had been made the happier for it。 

    ^And now察little woman察院said my Guardian察whom I had never 

seen    so   proud   and   joyful  as   in  showing    me   these   things察  and 

watching my appreciation of them察 now察last of all察for the name 

of this house。 ̄ 

    ^What is it called察dear Guardian拭院

    ^My child察院said he察 come and see。 ̄ 

   He  took   me   to  the  porch察  which  he   had   hitherto   avoided察  and 

said察pausing before we went out此 

    ^My dear child察don¨t you guess the name拭院

    ^No 院said I。 

   We   went  out  of  the  porch察  and   he   showed   me   written   over   it察

BLEAK HOUSE。 

   He led me to a seat among the leaves close by察and sitting down 

beside me察and taking my hand in his察spoke to me thus此

    ^My darling girl察in what there has been between us察  I   have察  I 

hope察been really solicitous for your happiness。 When I wrote you 

the letter to which you brought the answer察院smiling as he referred 

to   it察  I  had  my   own   too   much    in  view察  but  I  had   yours   too。 

Whether察     under     different    circumstances察     I  might     ever   have 

renewed the old dream I sometimes dreamed when you were very 

young察of making you my wife one day察I need not ask myself。 I did 

renew it察and I wrote my letter察and you brought your answer。 You 

are following what I say察my child拭院

    I was cold察and I trembled violently察but not a word he uttered 

was     lost。  As  I  sat  looking    fixedly    at  him察  and   the   sun¨s   rays 

descended察softly shining through the leaves察upon his bare head察I 

felt as if the brightness on him must be like the brightness of the 

Angels。 

    ^Hear me察my love察but do not speak。 It is for me to speak now。 

When it was that I began to doubt whether what I had done would 

really make you happy察is no matter。 Woodcourt came home察and I 

soon had no doubt at all。 ̄ 

    I   clasped   him   round   the   neck察  and   hung   my   head      upon    his 

breast察and wept。 ^Lie lightly察confidently察here察my child察院said he察

pressing me gently to him。 ^I am  your  Guardian and   your  father 

now。 Rest confidently here。 ̄ 

    Soothingly察  like   the   gentle  rustling  of  the   leaves察and   genially察

like the ripening weather察and radiantly and beneficently察like the 

sunshine察he went on。 

    ^Understand   me察  my   dear   girl。   I   had   no   doubt   of   your   being 

contented and happy with me察being so dutiful and so devoted察but 

I   saw   with   whom   you   would   be   happier。   That   I   penetrated   his 

secret   when   Dame   Durden   was   blind   to   it察  is   no   wonder察  for   I 

knew the good that could never change in her察better far than she 

did。    Well   I  have   long   been    in  Allan    Woodcourt¨s      confidence察

although he was not察until yesterday察a few hours before you came 

here察  in   mine。  But  I   would not  have  my  Esther¨s   bright   example 

lost察  I   would   not   have   a   jot   of   my   dear   girl¨s   virtues   unobserved 

and unhonoured察I would not have her admitted on sufferance into 

the line of Morgan ap Kerrig察no察not for the weight in gold of all 

the mountains in Wales 院

    He stopped to kiss me on the forehead察and I sobbed and wept

afresh。   For   I   felt   as   if   I   could   not   bear   the   painful   delight   of   his 

praise。 

    ^Hush察little woman Don¨t cry察this is to be a day of joy。 I have 

looked forward to it察院he said察exultingly察 for months on months 

A    few    words     more察   Dame      Trot察   and    I  have    said    my    say。 

Determined not  to  throw  away  one   atom   of  my  Esther¨s   worth察  I 

took   Mrs   Woodcourt   into   a   separate   confidence。   `Now察  madam察 

said I察 I clearly perceive!and indeed I know察to boot!that your 

son loves my ward。 I am further very sure that my ward loves your 

son察but will sacrifice her love to a sense of duty and affection察and 

will sacrifice   it so  completely察  so  entirely察so  religiously察  that   you 

should never  suspect  it察  though  you  watched   her  night  and   day。¨ 

Then      I  told  her    all  our   story!ours!yours           and   mine。    `Now察

madam察 said I察   come   you察  knowing  this察and   live   with  us。   Come 

you察and see my child from hour to hour察set what you see察against 

her pedigree察which is this察and this¨!for I scorned to mince it! 

¨and tell me what is the true legitimacy察when you shall have quite 

made up your mind o
