remorse�察 �in her murdering within her breast the only love and
truth of which it is capable� �And then forgive her�察�if you can�察�and

We held one another for a little space yet�察�but she was so firm�察�
that she took my hands away�察 �and put them back against my
breast�察�and�察�with a last kiss as she held them there�察�released them�察�
and went from me into the wood。 I was alone�察�and�察�calm and quiet
below me in the sun and shade�察�lay the old house�察�with its terraces
and turrets�察�on which there had seemed to me to be such complete
repose when I first saw it�察�but which now looked like the obdurate
and unpitying watcher of my mother¨s misery。

Stunned as I was�察 �as weak and helpless at first as I had ever
been in my sick chamber�察 �the necessity of guarding against the
danger of discovery�察 �or even of the remotest suspicion�察 �did me
service。 I took such precautions as I could to hide from Charley
that I had been crying�察�and I constrained myself to think of every
sacred obligation that there was upon me to be careful and
collected。 It was not a little while before I could succeed�察�or could
even restrain bursts of grief�察�but after an hour or so�察�I was better�察�
and felt that I might return。 I went home very slowly�察 �and told
Charley�察�whom I found at the gate looking for me�察�that I had been
tempted to extend my walk after Lady Dedlock had left me�察 �and
that I was overtired�察�and would lie down。 Safe in my own room I
read the letter。 I clearly derived from it!and that was much
then!that I had not been abandoned by my mother。 Her elder
and only sister�察�the godmother of my childhood�察�discovering signs
of life in me when I had been laid aside as dead�察�had�察�in her stern
sense of duty�察 �with no desire or willingness that I should live�察�
reared me in rigid secrecy�察 �and had never again beheld my
mother¨s face from within a few hours of my birth。 So strangely
did I hold my place in this world�察 �that�察 �until within a short time
back�察�I had never�察�to my own mother¨s knowledge�察�breathed!had
been buried!had never been endowed with life!had never borne
a name。 When she had first seen me in the church�察�she had been
startled�察�and had thought of what would have been like me�察 �if it
had ever lived�察�and had lived on�察�but that was all�察�then。
What more the letter told me�察�needs not to be repeated here。 It
has its own times and places in my story。
My first care was to burn what my mother had written�察�and to
consume even its ashes。 I hope it may not appear very unnatural

or bad in me�察�that I then became heavily sorrowful to think I had
ever been reared。 That I felt as if I knew it would have been better
and happier for many people�察�if indeed I had never breathed。 That
I had a terror of myself�察�as the danger and the possible disgrace of
my own mother�察 �and of a proud family name。 That I was so
confused and shaken�察 �as to be possessed by a belief that it was
right�察 �and had been intended�察 �that I should die in my birth�察 �and
that it was wrong�察�and not intended that I should be then alive。
These are the real feelings that I had。 I fell asleep�察 �worn out�察�
and when I awoke�察�I cried afresh to think that I was back in the
world�察 �with my load of trouble for others。 I was more than ever
frightened of myself thinking anew of her�察 �against whom I was a
witness�察 �of the owner of Chesney Wold�察 �of the new and terrible
meaning of the old words�察 �now moaning in my ear like a surge
upon the shore�察 �Your mother�察�Esther�察�was your disgrace�察�and you
are hers。 The time will come!and soon enough!when you will
understand this better�察 �will feel it too�察 �as no one save a woman
can。 ̄ With them�察�those other words returned�察 �Pray daily that the
sins of others be not visited upon your head。 ̄ I could not
disentangle all that was about me�察�and I felt as if the blame and
the shame were all in me�察�and the visitation had come down。
The day waned into a gloomy evening�察�overcast and sad�察�and I
still contended with the same distress。 I went out alone�察�and�察�after
walking a little in the park�察�watching the dark shades falling on the
trees�察 �and the fitful flight of the bats�察 �which sometimes almost
touched me�察�was attracted to the house for the first time。 Perhaps I
might not have gone near it�察�if I had been in a stronger frame of
mind。 As it was�察�I took the path that led close by it。
I did not dare to linger or to look up�察 �but I passed before the

terrace garden with its fragrant odours�察�and its broad walks�察�and
its well´kept beds and smooth turf�察 �and I saw how beautiful and
grave it was�察�and how the old stone balustrades and parapets�察�and
wide flights of shallow steps�察 �were seamed by time and weather�察�
and how the trained moss and ivy grew about them�察 �and around
the old stone pedestal of the sundial�察 �and I heard the fountain
falling。 Then the way went by long lines of dark windows�察�
diversified by turreted towers�察 �and porches�察 �of eccentric shapes�察�
where old stone lions and grotesque monsters bristled outside
dens of shadow�察 �and snarled at the evening gloom over the
escutcheons they held in their grip。 Thence the path wound
underneath a gateway�察 �and through a courtyard where the
principal entrance was ��I hurried quickly on���察 �and by the stables
where none but deep voices seemed to be�察 �whether in the
murmuring of the wind through the strong mass of ivy holding to a
high red wall�察�or in the low complaining of the weathercock�察�or in
the barking of the dogs�察 �or in the slow striking of the clock。 So�察�
encountering presently a sweet smell of limes�察 �whose rustling I
could hear�察 �I turned with the turning of the path�察 �to the south
front�察 �and there�察 �above me�察 �were the balustrades of the Ghost¨s
Walk�察�and one lighted window that might be my mother¨s。
The way was paved here�察 �like the terrace overhead�察 �and my
footsteps from being noiseless made an echoing sound upon the
flags。 Stopping to look at nothing�察�but seeing all I did see as I went�察�
I was passing quickly on�察 �and in a few moments should have
passed the lighted window�察�when my echoing footsteps brought it
suddenly into my mind that there was a dreadful truth in the
legend of the Ghost¨s Walk�察 �that it was I�察 �who was to bring
calamity upon the stately house�察 �and that my warning feet were

haunting it even then。 Seized with an augmented terror of myself
which turned me cold�察�I ran from myself and everything�察�retraced
the way by which I had come�察�and never paused until I had gained
the lodge´gate�察�and the park lay sullen and black behind me。
Not before I was alone in my own room for the night�察�and had
again been dejected and unhappy there�察�did I begin to know how
wrong and thankless this state was。 But�察�from my darling who was
coming on the morrow�察�I found a joyful letter�察 �full of such loving
anticipation that I must have been of marble if it had not moved
me�察 �from my G
