you察as a married  woman察  possessing  what  you  may call charms察

you know!`Believe me察if all those endearing察and cetrer¨!you¨re 

well acquainted with the song察because it¨s in  vain   for  you  to  tell 

me that you and good society are strangers!charms!attractions察

you¨ve done it。 ̄ 

    Mrs    Snagsby      looked    rather    alarmed察   relented     a  little察 and 

faltered察what did Mr Bucket mean拭

face察that all the time he talked he was listening for the discovery

of   the  letter!to   my   own      great   agitation察  for   I  knew   then   how 

important it must be察 I¨ll tell you what he means察ma¨am。 Go and 

see Othello acted。 That¨s the tragedy for you。 ̄ 

    Mrs Snagsby consciously asked why。 

    ^Why拭院  said   Mr   Bucket。   ^Because   you¨ll   come   to   that察  if   you 

don¨t   look   out。   Why察  at   the   very   moment   while   I   speak察  I   know 

what your mind¨s not wholly free from察respecting this young lady。 

But   shall   I   tell   you   who   this   young   lady   is拭  Now察  come察  you¨re 

what   I   call   an   intellectual   woman!with   your   soul   too   large   for 

your body察if you come to that察and chafing it!and you know me察

and you recollect where you saw me last察and what was talked of 

in that  circle。   Don¨t  you拭 Yes  Very  well。   This   young  lady  is   that 

young lady。 ̄ 

    Mrs Snagsby appeared to understand the reference better than 

I did at the time。 

    ^And Toughey!him as you call Jo!was mixed up in the same 

business察and no other察and the law´writer that you know of察was 

mixed up in the same business察and no other察and your husband察

with   no   more   knowledge   of   it   than   your   great´grandfather察  was 

mixed up by Mr Tulkinghorn察deceased察his best customer in the 

same business察and no other察and the whole bileing of people was 

mixed up in the same business察and no other。 And yet  a   married 

woman察possessing your attractions察shuts her eyes and sparklers 

too察  and   goes and   runs   her delicate´formed   head   against   a   wall。 

Why察I am ashamed of you 。I expected Mr Woodcourt might have 

got it察by this time。 ̄ 

    Mrs Snagsby shook her head察and put her handkerchief to her 

eyes。 

    ^Is that all拭院said Mr Bucket察excitedly。 ^No。 See what happens。

Another person mixed up in that business and no other察a person 

in a wretched state察comes here tonight察and is seen a´speaking to 

your maid´servant察and between her and your maid´servant there 

passes a paper that I would give a hundred pound for察down。 What 

do   you   do拭  You   hide   and   you   watch   ¨em察  and   you   pounce   upon 

that   maid´servant!knowing   what   she¨s            subject    to察 and   what   a 

little thing will bring ¨em on!in that surprising manner察and with 

that severity察that察by the Lord察she goes off and keeps off察when a 

Life may be hanging upon that girl¨s words 院

    He so thoroughly meant what he said now察that I involuntarily 

clasped my hands察and felt the room turning away from me。 But it 

stopped。   Mr  Woodcourt   came   in察  put   a   paper   into   his   hand察  and 

went away again。 

    ^Now察Mrs Snagsby察the only amends you can make察院said Mr 

Bucket察  rapidly  glancing   at   it察   is   to   let  me   speak   a   word   to   this 

young lady in private here。 And if you know of any help that you 

can give to that gentleman in the next kitchen there察or can think 

of any one thing that¨s likelier than another to bring the girl round察

do your swiftest and best 院In an instant she was gone察and he had 

shut   the   door。   ^Now察  my   dear察  you¨re   steady察  and   quite   sure   of 

yourself拭院

    ^Quite察院said I。 

    ^Whose writing is that拭院

    It   was   my   mother¨s。   A   pencil´writing察  on   a   crushed   and   torn 

piece of paper察blotted with wet。 Folded roughly like a letter察and 

directed to me at my Guardian¨s。 

    ^You know the hand察院he said察 and if you are firm enough to 

read it to me察do But be particular to a word。 ̄ 

    It had been written in portions察at different times。 I read what

follows此 



    ^I   came   to  the   cottage   with  two   objects。   First察  to   see   the   dear 

one察  if   I   could察  once   more!but   only   to   see   her!not   to   speak   to 

her察  or   let   her   know   that   I   was   near。   The   other   object察  to   elude 

pursuit察and to be lost。 Do not blame the mother for her share。 The 

assistance   that   she   rendered   me察  she   rendered   on   my   strongest 

assurance that it was for the dear one¨s good。 You remember her 

dead child。   The  men¨s  consent  I bought察  but   her   help   was   freely 

given。 ̄ 



    ^`I   came。¨   That   was   written察院  said   my   companion察   when   she 

rested there。 It bears out what I made of it。 I was right。 ̄ 

    The next was written at another time。 



    ^I   have   wandered   a   long   distance察  and   for   many   hours察  and   I 

know that I must soon die。 These streets I have no purpose but to 

die。 When I left察I had   a   worse察but  I   am   saved   from adding  that 

guilt to the rest。 Cold察wet察and fatigue察are sufficient causes for my 

being  found dead此  but   I   shall   die   of   others察  though   I   suffer   from 

these。 It was right that all that had sustained me should give way 

at once察and that I should die of terror and my conscience。 ̄ 



    ^Take   courage察院  said   Mr   Bucket。   ^There¨s   only   a   few   words 

more。 ̄ 

    Those察  too察  were   written   at   another   time。   To   all   appearance察

almost in the dark。 



    ^I have done all I could to be lost。 I shall be soon forgotten so察

and shall disgrace him least。 I have nothing about me by which I 

can be recognised。 This paper I part with now。 The place where I 

shall lie down察if I can yet get so far察has been often in my mind。 

Farewell。 Forgive。 ̄ 



    Mr Bucket察supporting me with his arm察lowered me gently into 

my chair。 ^Cheer up Don¨t think me hard with you察my dear察but察

as   soon   as   ever   you   feel   equal   to   it察  get   your   shoes   on   and   be 

ready。 ̄ 

    I did as he required察but I was left there a long time察praying for 

my   unhappy   mother。   They   were   all   occupied   with   the   poor   girl察

and   I   heard   Mr   Woodcourt   directing   them察  and   speaking   to   her 

often。 At length he came in with Mr Bucket察and said that as it was 

important  to  address   her  gently察  he   thought  it  best  that   I   should 

ask her for whatever information we desired to obtain。 There was 

no    doubt    that   she   could    now    reply   to  questions察    if  she   were 

soothed察  and   not   alarmed。   The   questions察  Mr   Bucket
