¡¡¡¡"My last supplication of all, is this; and with it, I will relieve you of a visitor with whom I well know you have nothing in unison, and between whom and you there is an impassable space. It is useless to say it, I know, but it rises out of my soul. For you, and for any dear to you, I would do anything. If my career were of that better kind that there was any opportunity or capacity of sacrifice in it, I would embrace any sacrifice for you and for those dear to you. Try to hold me in your mind, at some quiet times, as ardent and sincere in this one thing.
The time will come, the time will not be long in coming, when new ties will be formed about you- ties that will bind you yet more tenderly and strongly to the home you so adorn- the dearest ties that will ever grace and gladden you. O Miss Manette, when the little picture of a happy father's face looks up in yours, when you see your own bright beauty springing up anew at your feet, think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you!"

¡¡¡¡What I felt, in returning so auspiciously to the old familiar places, I shall not endeavour to describe. We went down by the Mail. I was so concerned, I recollect, even for the honour of Yarmouth, that when Steerforth said, as we drove through its dark streets to the inn, that, as well as he could make out, it was a good, queer, out-of-the-way kind of hole, I was highly pleased.
went to bed on our arrival (I observed a pair of dirty shoes and gaiters in connexion with my old friend the Dolphin as we passed that door), and breakfasted late in the morning. Steerforth, who was in great spirits, had been strolling about the beach before I was up, and had made acquaintance, he said, with half the boatmen in the place. Moreover, he had seen, in the distance, what he was sure must be the identical house of Mr. Peggotty, with smoke coming out of the chimney; and had had a great mind, he told me, to walk in and swear he was myself grown out of knowledge. ¡¡¡¡'When do you propose to introduce me there, Daisy?' he said. 'I am at your disposal. Make your own arrangements.' ¡¡¡¡'Why, I was thinking that this evening would be a good time, Steerforth, when they are all sitting round the fire. I should like you to see it when it's snug, it's such a

Travellers', hanging out, had tempted me; but I was afraid of spending the few pence I had, and was even more afraid of the vicious looks of the trampers I had met or overtaken. I sought no shelter, therefore, but the sky; and toiling into Chatham, - which, in that night's aspect, is a mere dream of chalk, and drawbridges, and mastless ships in a muddy river, roofed like Noah's arks, - crept, at last, upon a sort of grass-grown battery overhanging a lane, where a sentry was walking to and fro. Here I lay down, near a cannon; and, happy in the society of the sentry's footsteps, though he knew no more of my being above him than the boys at Salem
House had known of my lying by the wall, slept soundly until morning. ¡¡¡¡Very stiff and sore of foot I was in the morning, and quite dazed by the beating of drums and marching of troops, which seemed to hem me in on every side when I went down towards the long narrow street. Feeling that I could go but a very little way that day, if I were to reserve any strength for getting to my journey's end, I resolved to make the sale of my jacket its principal business. Accordingly, I took the jacket off, that I might learn to do without it; and carrying it under my arm, began a tour of inspection of the various slop-shops.

You will not marry me, Tess, and make me a self-respecting man?' he repeated, as soon as they were over the furrows. ¡¡¡¡`I cannot.' ¡¡¡¡`But why?' ¡¡¡¡`You know I have no affection for you.' ¡¡¡¡`But you would get to feel that in time, perhaps - as soon as you really could forgive me?' ¡¡¡¡`Never!' ¡¡¡¡`Why so positive?' ¡¡¡¡`I love somebody else.' ¡¡¡¡The words seemed to astonish him. ¡¡¡¡`You do?' he cried. `Somebody else? But has not a sense of what is morally right and proper any weight with you?' ¡¡¡¡`No, no, no - don't say that!' ¡¡¡¡`Anyhow, then, your love for this other man may be only a passing feeling which you will overcome------' ¡¡¡¡`No - no.' ¡¡¡¡`Yes, yes! Why not?' I cannot tell you.' ¡¡¡¡`You must in honour!' ¡¡¡¡`Well then - I have married him.' ¡¡¡¡`Ah!' he exclaimed; and he stopped dead and gazed at her. ¡¡¡¡`I did not wish to tell - I did not mean to!' she pleaded. `It is a secret here, or at any rate but dimly known. So will you, please will you, keep from questioning me? You must remember that we are now strangers.' ¡¡¡¡`Strangers - are we? Strangers!' ¡¡¡¡For a moment a flash of his old irony marked his face; but he determinedly chastened it down. ¡¡¡¡`Is that man your husband?' he asked mechanically, denoting by a sign the labourer who turned the machine.

How much will I have?"
　　"At the age of twenty-one or upon your marriage,you will come into a sum which at a rough estimate would amount to six or seven hundredthousand pounds."
　　"This is a lot," saidElvira, impressed.
　　"Yes, it is a lot. Probably it is because it issuch a lot that nobody has ever talked to you about it much."
　　He watched her as she reflected upon this. Quite aninteresting girl, he thought. Looked an unbelievably milk-and-water Miss, but she was morethan that. A good deal more. He said, with a faintly ironic smile:
　　"Does that satisfy you?"
　　She gave him a sudden smile.
　　"It ought to, oughtn'tit?"
