pillar察 within flare of a rusty little gridiron´full of gusty little
tapers!without the walls察 encompassing Paris with dancing察
lovemaking察 wine´drinking察 tobacco´smoking察 tomb´visiting察
billiard察 card察 and domino playing察 quack´doctoring察 and much
murderous refuse察animate and inanimate!only last Sunday察my
Lady察 in the desolation of Boredom and the Clutch of Giant
Despair察almost hated her own maid for being in spirits。
She cannot察therefore察go too fast from Paris。 Weariness of soul
lies before her察 as it lies behind!her Ariel has put a girdle of it

round the whole earth察 and it cannot be unclasped!but the
imperfect remedy is always to fly察from the last place where it has
been experienced。 Fling Paris back into the distance察 then察
exchanging it for endless avenues and cross´avenues of wintry
trees And察 when next beheld察 let it be some leagues away察 with
the Gate of the Star a white speck glittering in the sun察 and the
city a mere mound in a plain此two dark square towers rising out of
it察and light and shadow descending on it aslant察like the angels in
Jacob¨s dream
Sir Leicester is generally in a complacent state察 and rarely
bored。 When he has nothing else to do察he can always contemplate
his own greatness。 It is a considerable advantage to a man察to have
so inexhaustible a subject。 After reading his letters察he leans back
in his corner of the carriage察and generally reviews his importance
to society。
^You have an unusual amount of correspondence this
morning拭院 says my Lady察 after a long time。 She is fatigued with
reading。 Has almost read a page in twenty miles。
^Nothing in it察though。 Nothing whatever。 ̄
^I saw one of Mr Tulkinghorn¨s long effusions I think拭院
^You see everything察院says Sir Leicester察with admiration。
^Ha 院sighs my Lady。 ^He is the most tiresome of men。 ̄
^He sends!I really beg your pardon!he sends察院 says Sir
Leicester察selecting the letter察and unfolding it察 a message to you。
Our stopping to change horses察as I came to his postscript察drove it
out of my memory察 I beg you¨ll excuse me。 He says! ̄ Sir
Leicester is so long in taking out his eyeglass and adjusting it察that
my Lady looks a little irritated。 ^He says `In the matter of the right
of way!¨ I beg your pardon察 that¨s not the place。 He says!yes

Here I have it He says察 I beg my respectful compliments to my
Lady察who察I hope察has benefited by the change。 Will you do me the
favour to mention as it may interest her察that I have something to
tell her on her return察in reference to the person who copied the
affidavit in the Chancery suit察which so powerfully stimulated her
curiosity。 I have seen him。¨ ̄ My Lady察leaning forward察looks out
of her window。
^That¨s the message察院observed Sir Leicester。
^I should like to walk a little察院says my Lady察still looking out of
her window。
^Walk拭院repeats Sir Leicester察in a tone of surprise。
^I should like to walk a little察院 says my Lady察 with
unmistakeable distinctness。 ^Please to stop the carriage。 ̄
The carriage is stopped察 the affectionate man alights from the
rumble察 opens the door察 and lets down the steps察 obedient to an
impatient motion of my Lady¨s hand。 My Lady alights so quickly察
and walks away so quickly察 that Sir Leicester察 for all his
scrupulous politeness is unable to assist her察and is left behind。 A
space of a minute or two has elapsed before he comes up with her。
She smiles察looks very handsome察takes his arm察lounges with him
for a quarter of a mile察is very much bored察and resumes her seat
in the carriage。
The rattle and clatter continue through the greater part of three
days察 with more or less of bell´jingling and whip´cracking察 and
more or less plunging of Centaurs and bare´backed horses。 Their
courtly politeness to each other察at the Hotels where they tarry察is
the theme of general admiration。 Though my Lord is a little aged
for my Lady察 says Madame察 the hostess of the Golden Ape察 and
though he might be her amiable father察 one can see at a glance

that they love each other。 One observes my Lord with his white
hair察 standing察 hat in hand察 to help my Lady to and from the
carriage。 One observes my Lady察 how recognisant of my Lord¨s
politeness察 with an inclination of her gracious head察 and the
concession of her so´genteel fingers It is ravishing
The sea has no appreciation of great men察 but knocks them
about like small fry。 It is habitually hard upon Sir Leicester察whose
countenance it greenly mottles in the manner of sage´cheese察and
in whose aristocratic system it effects a dismal revolution。 It is the
Radical of Nature to him。 Nevertheless察 his dignity gets over it察
after stopping to refit此and he goes on with my Lady for Chesney
Wold察lying only one night in London on the way to Lincolnshire。
Through the same cold sunlight!colder as the day declines察
and through the same sharp wind!sharper as the separate
shadows of bare trees gloom together in the woods察 and as the
Ghost¨s Walk察touched at the western corner by a pile of fire in the
sky察resigns itself to coming night察they drive into the park。 The
Rooks察swinging in their lofty houses in the elm´tree avenue察seem
to discuss the question of the occupancy of the carriage as it
passes underneath察some agreeing that Sir Leicester and my Lady
are come down察some arguing with malcontents who won¨t admit
it察now察all consenting to consider the question disposed of察now察
all breaking out again in violent debate察incited by one obstinate
and drowsy bird察who will persist in putting in a last contradictory
croak。 Leaving them to swing and caw察the travelling chariot rolls
on to the house察 where fires gleam warmly through some of the
windows察 though not through so many as to give an inhabited
expression to the darkening mass of front。 But the brilliant and
distinguished circle will soon do that。

Mrs Rouncewell is in attendance察 and receives Sir Leicester¨s
customary shake of the hand with a profound curtsey。
^How do you do察Mrs Rouncewell拭I am glad to see you。 ̄
^I hope I have the honour of welcoming you in good health察Sir
Leiceste
