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 

cry to Heaven to forgive her�察�which it never can� 院�

    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

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�

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

escutcheons        they    held    in  their    grip。   Thence      the   path    wound 

underneath         a   gateway�察     �and    through      a   courtyard      where      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

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

the way by which I had come�察�and never paused until I had gained
