way�察 �and nothing meets him�察 �murmuring ^Don¨t go home� 院�
Arrived at last in his dull room�察�to light his candles�察�and look round
and up�察�and see the Roman pointing from the ceiling�察�there is no
new significance in the Roman¨s hand tonight�察�or in the flutter of
the attendant groups to give him the late warning�察 �Don¨t come
here� 院�
It is a moonlight night�察�but the moon�察�being past the full�察�is only
now rising over the great wilderness of London。 The stars are
shining as they shone above the turret´leads at Chesney Wold。
This woman�察�as he has of late been so accustomed to call her�察�looks
out upon them。 Her soul is turbulent within her�察 �she is sick at
heart and restless。 The large rooms are too cramped and close。
She cannot endure their restraint�察 �and will walk alone in a
neighbouring garden。
Too capricious and imperious in all she does�察�to be the cause of
much surprise in those about her as to anything she does�察 �this
woman�察 �loosely muffled�察 �goes out into the moonlight。 Mercury
attends with the key。 Having opened the garden gate�察�he delivers
the key into his Lady¨s hand at her request�察 �and is bidden to go
back。 She will walk there some time�察�to ease her aching head。 She
may be an hour�察 �she may be more。 She needs no further escort。
The gate shuts upon its spring with a clash�察 �and�察 �he leaves her
passing on into the dark shade of some trees。
A fine night�察�and a bright large moon�察�and multitudes of stars。
Mr Tulkinghorn�察 �in repairing to his cellar�察 �and in opening and

shutting those resounding doors�察 �has to cross a little prison´like
yard。 He looks up casually�察 �thinking what a fine night�察 �what a
bright large moon�察�what multitudes of stars� �A quiet night�察�too。
A very quiet night。 When the moon shines very brilliantly�察 �a
solitude and stillness seem to proceed from her�察 �that influence
even crowded places full of life。 Not only is it a still night on dusty
high roads and on hill´summits�察�whence a wide expanse of country
may be seen in repose�察�quieter and quieter as it spreads away into
a fringe of trees against the sky�察 �with the grey ghost of a bloom
upon them�察�not only is it a still night in gardens and in woods�察�and
on the river where the water´meadows are fresh and green�察 �and
the stream sparkles on among pleasant islands�察�murmuring weirs�察�
and whispering rushes�察 �not only does the stillness attend it as it
flows where houses cluster thick�察 �where many bridges are
reflected in it�察 �where wharves and shipping make it black and
awful�察�where it winds from these disfigurements through marshes
whose grim beacons stand like skeletons washed ashore�察�where it
expands through the bolder region of rising grounds�察�rich in corn´
field�察 �windmill and steeple�察 �and where it mingles with the ever´
heaving sea�察 �not only is it a still night on the deep�察 �and on the
shore where the watcher stands to see the ship with her spread
wings cross the path of light that appears to be presented to only
him�察 �but even on this stranger¨s wilderness of London there is
some rest。 Its steeples and towers�察 �and its one great dome�察 �grow
more ethereal�察 �its smoky house´tops lose their grossness�察 �in the
pale effulgence�察 �the noises that arise from the streets are fewer
and are softened�察�and the footsteps on the pavements pass more
tranquilly away。 In these fields of Mr Tulkinghorn¨s inhabiting�察�
where the shepherds play on Chancery pipes that have no stop�察�

and keep their sheep in the fold by hook and by crook until they
have shorn them exceeding close�察 �every noise is merged�察 �this
moonlight night�察�into a distant ringing hum�察 �as if the city were a
vast glass�察�vibrating。
What¨s that�拭�Who fired a gun or pistol�拭�Where was it�拭�
The few foot´passengers start�察 �stop�察 �and stare about them。
Some windows and doors are opened�察 �and people come out to
look。 It was a loud report�察�and echoed and rattled heavily。 It shook
one house�察�or so a man says who was passing。 It has aroused all
the dogs in the neighbourhood�察 �who bark vehemently。 Terrified
cats scamper across the road。 While the dogs are yet barking and
howling!there is one dog howling like a demon!the church´
clocks�察�as if they were startled too�察�begin to strike。 The hum from
the streets�察 �likewise�察 �seems to swell into a shout。 But it is soon
over。 Before the last clock begins to strike ten�察�there is a lull。 When
it has ceased�察�the fine night�察�the bright large moon�察�and multitudes
of stars�察�are left at peace again。
Has Mr Tulkinghorn been disturbed�拭 �His windows are dark
and quiet�察 �and his door is shut。 It must be something unusual
indeed�察 �to bring him out of his shell。 Nothing is heard of him�察�
nothing is seen of him。 What power of cannon might it take to
shake that rusty old man out of his immoveable composure�拭�
For many years�察�the persistent Roman has been pointing with
no particular meaning from that ceiling。 It is not likely that he has
any new meaning in him tonight。 Once pointing�察�always pointing!
like any Roman�察�or even Briton�察�with a single idea。 There he is�察�no
doubt�察 �in his impossible attitude�察 �pointing�察 �unavailingly�察 �all night
long。 Moonlight�察 �darkness�察 �dawn�察 �sunrise�察 �day。 There he is still�察�
eagerly pointing�察�and no one minds him。

But�察 �a little after the coming of the day�察 �come people to clean
the rooms�察�And either the Roman has some new meaning in him�察�
not expressed before�察 �or the foremost of them goes wild�察 �for�察�
looking up at his outstretched hand�察�and looking down at what is
below it�察�that person shrieks and flies。 The others�察�looking in as the
first one looked�察 �shriek and fly too�察 �and there is an alarm in the
street。
What does it mean�拭 �No light is admitted into the darkened
chamber�察 �and people unaccustomed to it�察 �enter�察 �and treading
softly�察 �but heavily�察 �carry a weight into the bedroom�察 �and lay it
down。 There is whispering and wondering all day�察�strict search of
every corner�察 �careful tracing of steps�察 �and careful noting of the
disposition of every article of furniture。 All eyes look up at the
Roman�察 �and all voices murmur�察 �If he could only tell what he
saw� 院�
He is pointing at a table�察�with a bottle ��nearly full of wine�� and a
glass upon it�察�and two candles that were blown out suddenly�察�soon
after being lighted。 He is pointing at an empty chair�察�and at a stain
upon the ground before it that might be almost covered with a
hand。 These objects lie directly within his range。 An excited
imagination might suppose that there was something in them so
terrific�察 �as to drive the rest of the composition�察 �not only the
attendant big´legged boys�察�but the clouds and flowers and pillars
too!in short�察 �the very body and soul of Allegory�察 �and all the
brains it has!stark mad。 It happens surely�察 �that every one who
comes into the darkened room and looks at these things�察�looks up
at the Roman�察�and that he is invested in all eyes with mystery and
awe�察�as if he were a paralysed dumb witness。
So�察 �it shall happen sur
