Emma laughed, and replied: "But I had the assistance of all your endeavours to counteract the indulgence of other people. I doubt whether my own sense would have corrected me without it." 　　 "Do you?--I have no doubt. Nature gave you understanding:-- Miss Taylor gave you principles. You must have done well. My interference was quite as likely to do harm as good. It was very natural for you to say, what right has he to lecture me?-- and I am afraid very

natural for you to feel that it was done in a disagreeable manner. I do not believe I did you any good. The good was all to myself, by making you an object of the tenderest affection to me. I could not think about you so much without doating on you, faults and all; and by dint of fancying so many errors, have been in love with you ever since you were thirteen at least." 　　 "I am sure you were of use to me," cried Emma

Catherine repeated the longest she could remember. The employment pleased both mightily. Linton would have another; and after that another, notwithstanding my strenuous objections; and so they went on until the clock struck twelve, and we heard Hareton in the court, returning for his dinner.
`And tomorrow, Catherine, will you be here tomorrow?' asked young Heathcliff, holding her frock as she rose reluctantly.
`No,' I answered, `nor next day neither.' She, however, gave a different response evidently, for his forehead cleared as she stooped and whispered in his ear.

`You won't go tomorrow, recollect, miss!' I commenced, when we were out of the house. `You are not dreaming of it, are you?'
`Oh, I'll take good care,' I continued: `I'll have that lock mended, and you can escape by no way else.'
`I can get over the wall,' she said, laughing. `The Grange is not a prison, Ellen, and you are not my jailer. And besides, I'm almost seventeen: I'm a woman. And I'm certain Linton would recover quickly if

"You lawyers!" saidFreddie. "Sharks, all of you!"
　　He rose to his feet. "Well,"he said, "do your bloody best for me,Richard old boy."
　　He took his departure, shaking his head sadly.Richard Egerton put Freddie and his affairs out of his mind, and thought about his nextclient. He said softly to himself, "The Honourable ElviraBlake. I wonder what she's like…” He lifted his receiver. "Lord Frederick's gone. Send up Miss Blake, will you."
　　The door opened, the clerk announced Miss ElviraBlake and the girl walked into the room. Egerton rose from his chair and came towards her.In appearance, he thought, she did not resemble either of her parents. Tall, slim, veryfair, Bess's colouring but none of Bess's vitality, with an old-fashioned air about her; though that was difficult tobe sure of, since the fashion in dress happened at the moment to be ruffles and babybodices.

　　"Well, well," he said,as he shook hands with her. "This is a surprise. Last time Isaw you, you were eleven years old. Come and sit here." Hepulled forward a chair and she sat down.
　　"I suppose," saidElvira, a little uncertainly, "that I ought to have writtenfirst. Written and made an appointment. Something like that, but I really made up my mindvery suddenly and it seemed an opportunity, since I was in London."

¡¡¡¡'A little puss, it is!' said Mr. Peggotty, patting her with his great hand. ¡¡¡¡'So sh' is! so sh' is!' cried Ham. 'Mas'r Davy bor', so sh' is!' and he sat and chuckled at her for some time, in a state of mingled admiration and delight, that made his face a burning red. ¡¡¡¡Little Em'ly was spoiled by them all, in fact; and by no one more than Mr. Peggotty himself, whom she could have coaxed into anything, by only going and laying her cheek against his rough whisker. That was my opinion, at least, when I saw her do it; and I held Mr. Peggotty to be thoroughly in the right. But she was so affectionate and sweet-natured, and had such a pleasant

manner of being both sly and shy at once, that she captivated me more than ever. ¡¡¡¡She was tender-hearted, too; for when, as we sat round the fire after tea, an allusion was made by Mr. Peggotty over his pipe to the loss I had sustained, the tears stood in her eyes, and she looked at me so kindly across the table, that I felt quite thankful to her. ¡¡¡¡'Ah!' said Mr. Peggotty, taking up her curls, and running them over his hand like water, 'here's another orphan, you see, sir. And here,' said Mr. Peggotty, giving Ham a backhanded knock in the chest, 'is another of 'em, though he don't look much like it.'

Unless he keeps a cake and gingerbread stall at markets and fairs, where people are gloriously indifferent to everything except the quality of the goods." ¡¡¡¡ Their thoughts were diverted by the voice of the auctioneer: "Now this antique oak settle--a unique example of old English furniture, worthy the attention of all collectors!" ¡¡¡¡ "That was my great-grandfather's," said Jude. "I wish we could have kept the poor old thing!" ¡¡¡¡ One by one the articles went, and the afternoon passed away. Jude and the other two were getting tired and hungry, but after the conversation they had heard they were shy of going out while the purchasers were in their line of retreat. However, the later lots drew on, and it became necessary to emerge into the rain soon, to take on Sue's things to

They were Sue's pets, and when it was found that they could not possibly be kept, more sadness was caused than by parting from all the furniture. Sue tried to think away her tears as she heard the trifling sum that her dears were deemed to be worth advanced by small stages to the price at which they were finally knocked down. The purchaser was a neighbouring poulterer, and they were unquestionably doomed to die before the next market day.
