¡¡¡¡'If it should be so,' I began, 'and I hope it is-' ¡¡¡¡'I don't know that it is,' said my aunt curtly. 'You must not be ruled by my suspicions. You must keep them secret. They are very slight, perhaps. I have no right to speak.' ¡¡¡¡'If it should be so,' I repeated, 'Agnes will tell me at her own good time. A sister to whom I have confided so much, aunt, will not be reluctant to confide in me.' ¡¡¡¡My aunt withdrew her eyes from mine, as slowly as she had turned them upon me; and covered them thoughtfully with her hand. By and by she put her other hand on my shoulder; and so we both sat, looking into the past, without saying another word, until we parted for the night. ¡¡¡¡I rode away, early in the morning, for the scene of my old school-days. I cannot say that I was yet quite happ

y, in the hope that I was gaining a victory over myself; even in the prospect of so soon looking on her face again. ¡¡¡¡The well-remembered ground was soon traversed, and I came into the quiet streets, where every stone was a boy's book to me. I went on foot to the old house, and went away with a heart too full to enter. I returned; and looking, as I passed, through the low window of the turret-room where first Uriah Heep, and

chosen a very pretty and a very affectionate creature. It will be your duty, and it will be your pleasure too - of course I know that; I am not delivering a lecture - to estimate her (as you chose her) by the qualities she has, and not by the qualities she may not have. The latter you must develop in her, if you can. And if you cannot, child,' here my aunt rubbed her nose, 'you must just accustom yourself to do without 'em. But remember, my dear, your future is between you two. No one can assist you; you are to work it out for yourselves. This is marriage, Trot; and Heaven bless you both, in it, for a pair of babes in the wood as

'Give Betsey Trotwood's love to Blossom, when you come back; and whatever you do, Trot, never dream of setting Betsey up as a scarecrow, for if I ever saw her in the glass, she's quite grim enough and gaunt enough in her private capacity!' ¡¡¡¡With this my aunt tied her head up in a handkerchief, with which she was accustomed to make a bundle of it on such occasions; and I escorted her home. As she stood in her garden, holding up her little

¡¡¡¡Drawing his arm through his own, he took him down Ludgate-hill to Fleet-street, and so, up a covered way, into a tavern. Here, they were shown into a little room, where Charles Darnay was soon recruiting his strength with a good plain dinner and good wine: while Carton sat opposite to him at the same table, with his separate bottle of port before him, and his fully half-insolent manner upon him. ¡¡¡¡"Do you feel, yet, that you belong to this terrestrial scheme again, Mr. Darnay?" ¡¡¡¡"I am frightfully confused regarding time and place; but I am so far mended as to feel that." ¡¡¡¡"It must be an immense satisfaction!" ¡¡¡¡He said it bitterly, and filled up his glass again: which was a large one. ¡¡¡¡"As to me, the greatest desire I have, is to forget that I belong to it. It bas no good in it for me- except wine like this- nor I for it. So we are not much alike in that particular. Indeed, I begin to think we are not much alike in any particular, you and I." ¡¡¡¡Confused by the emotion of the day, and feeling his being there with this Double of coarse deportment, to be like a dream, Charles Darnay was at a loss how to answer; finally, answered not at all. ¡¡¡¡"Now your dinner is done," Carton presently said, "why don't you call a health, Mr. Darnay; why don't you give your toast?" ¡¡¡¡"What health? What toast?"

Again he said to himself, "She does not realize what marriage means!" ¡¡¡¡ He passively acquiesced in her wish to go in, and they entered by the western door. The only person inside the gloomy building was a charwoman cleaning. Sue still held Jude's arm, almost as if she loved him. Cruelly sweet, indeed, she had been to him that morning; but his thoughts of a penance in store for her were tempered by an ache: ¡¡¡¡ ... I can find no way How a blow should fall, such as falls on men, Nor prove too much for your womanhood! ¡¡¡¡ They strolled undemonstratively up the nave towards the altar railing, which they stood against in silence, turning then and walking down the nave again, her hand still on his arm, precisely like a couple just married. The too suggestive incident, entirely of her making, nearly broke down Jude. ¡¡¡¡ "I like to do things like this," she said in the delicate voice of an epicure in emotions, which left no doubt that she spoke the truth. ¡¡¡¡ "I know you do!" said Jude. ¡¡¡¡ "They are interesting, because they have probably never been done before. I shall walk down the church like this with my husband in about two hours, shan't I!" ¡¡¡¡ "No doubt you will!" ¡¡¡¡ "Was it like this when you were married?" ¡¡¡¡ "Good God, Sue--don't be so awfully merciless! ... There, dear one, I didn't mean it!"
