     ;I say�    �My dear�       �It's very fillyillially done�察�you know�察�but you are 

flattering your father�察─�he protested�察�sparkling。 

     ;No�察�I am not�察�sir�察�I assure you。         No�察�I am not。       If you could hear my 

father sing�察�you would know I am not。              But you never will hear him sing�察�

because   he   never   sings   to   any   one   but   me。    However   tired   he   is�察  �he 

always   sings   to   me   when   he   comes   home。      When   I   lay   here   long   ago�察�

quite a poor little broken doll�察�he used to sing to me。 More than that�察�he 

used to make songs�察�bringing in whatever little jokes we had between us。 

More than that�察�he often does so to this day。             Oh�     �I'll tell of you�察�father�察�

as the gentleman has asked about you。             He is a poet�察�sir。; 

     ;I   shouldn't   wish   the   gentleman�察  �my   dear�察─  �observed   Lamps�察  �for   the 

moment turning grave�察 �to carry away that opinion of your father�察�because 

it might look as if I was given to asking the stars in a molloncolly manner 

what they was up to。         Which I wouldn't at once waste the time�察�and take 

the liberty�察�my dear。; 

     ;My   father�察─  �resumed   Phoebe�察  �amending   her   text�察   �is   always   on   the 

bright   side�察  �and   the   good   side。  You   told   me�察  �just   now�察  �I   had   a   happy 

disposition。      How can I help it�拭─�

     ;Well�察  �but�察  �my   dear�察─  �returned   Lamps   argumentatively�察   �how   can   I 

help it�拭   �Put it to yourself sir。      Look at her。     Always as you see her now。 

Always workingand after all�察�sir�察�for but a very few shillings a week 

always contented�察�always lively�察 �always interested in others�察�of all   sorts。 

I said�察�this moment�察�she was always as you see her now。                 So she is�察�with a 

difference that comes to much the same。               For�察�when it is my Sunday off 

and   the   morning   bells   have   done   ringing�察  �I   hear   the   prayers   and   thanks 

read in the touchingest way�察�and I have the hymns sung to meso soft�察�sir�察�

that you couldn't hear 'em out of this roomin notes that seem to me�察�I am 

sure�察�to come from Heaven and go back to it。; 

     It might have been merely through the association of these words with 

their    sacredly    quiet   time�察  �or  it  might    have    been   through     the  larger 

association      of   the   words    with    the   Redeemer's      presence     beside    the 

bedridden�察�but here her dexterous fingers came to a stop on the lace´pillow�察�

and clasped themselves around his neck as he bent down。 There was great 

natural sensibility in both father and daughter�察�the visitor could easily see�察�

but   each   made   it�察  �for   the   other's   sake�察  �retiring�察  �not   demonstrative�察  �and 

perfect   cheerfulness�察  �intuitive or   acquired�察  �was   either   the   first   or   second 

nature     of  both。    In   a  very   few    moments      Lamps     was    taking   another 

rounder with his comical features beaming�察�while Phoebe's laughing eyes 

��just   a   glistening   speck   or   so   upon   their   lashes��   were   again   directed   by 

turns to him�察�and to her work�察�and to Barbox Brothers。 

     ;When   my   father�察  �sir�察─  �she   said   brightly�察   �tells   you   about   my   being 

interested   in   other   people�察  �even   though   they   know   nothing   about   me 

which�察�by the bye�察�I told you myselfyou ought to know how that comes 

about。     That's my father's doing。; 

     ;No�察�it isn't� ─�he protested。 

     ;Don't you believe him�察�sir�察�yes�察�it is。            He tells me of everything he 

sees down at his work。           You would be surprised what a quantity he gets 

together for me every day。          He looks into the carriages�察�and tells me how 

the ladies are dressedso that I know all the fashions�                �He looks into the 

carriages�察�and tells me what pairs of lovers he sees�察�and what new´married 

couples on their wedding trip so that I know all about that�                  �He collects 

chance newspapers and booksso that I have plenty to read�                     �He tells me 

about the sick people who are travelling to try to get betterso that I know 

all about them�       �In short�察�as I began by saying�察�he tells me everything he 

sees and makes out down at his work�察�and you can't think what a quantity 

he does see and make out。;            ;As to collecting newspapers and books�察�my 

dear�察─�said Lamps�察 �it's clear I can have no merit in that�察�because they're 

not my perquisites。        You see�察�sir�察�it's this way�此      �A Guard�察�he'll say to me�察�

'Hallo�察  �here   you   are�察  �Lamps。     I've   saved   this   paper   for   your   daughter。 

How is she a´going on��'            A Head´Porter�察�he'll say to me�察�'Here�             �Catch 

hold�察  �Lamps。      Here's   a   couple   of   wollumes   for   your   daughter。      Is   she 

pretty much where she were��'            And that's what makes it double welcome�察�

you   see。    If   she   had   a   thousand   pound   in   a   box�察  �they   wouldn't   trouble 

themselves   about   her�察  �but   being   what   she   isthat   is�察  �you   understand�察─�

boxthey     take   thought    for  her。   And    as   concerning     the  young    pairs�察�

married and unmarried�察�it's only natural I should bring home what little I 

can   about   THEM�察  �seeing   that   there's   not   a   Couple   of   either   sort   in   the 

neighbourhood that don't come of their own accord to confide in Phoebe。; 

     She raised her eyes triumphantly to Barbox Brothers as she said�此�

     ;Indeed�察�sir�察�that is true。     If I could have got up and gone to church�察�I 

don't   know   how   often   I   should   have   been   a   bridesmaid。   But�察  �if   I   could 

have done that�察�some girls in love might have been jealous of me�察�and�察�as 

it is�察�no girl is jealous of me。      And my pillow would not have been half as 

ready   to   put   the   piece   of   cake   under�察  �as   I   always   find   it�察─  �she   added�察�

turning her face on it with a light sigh�察�and a smile at her father。 

     The arrival of a little girl�察�the biggest of the scholars�察�now led to an 

understanding on the part of Barbox Brothers�察�that she was the domestic of 

the cottage�察�and had come to take active measures in it�察�attended by a pail 

that might have extinguished her�察�and a broom three times her height。                  He 

therefore rose to take his leave�察�and took it�察�saying that�察�if Phoebe had no 

objection�察�he would come again。 

     He had muttered that he would come ;in the course of his walks。; The 

course of his walks must have been highly favourable to his return�察�for he 

returned after an interval of a single day。 

     ;You thought you would never see me any more�察�I suppose�拭─�he said 

to Phoebe as he touched her hand�察�and sat down by her couch。 

     ;Why should I think so�拭─�was her surprised rejoinder。 

     ;I took it for granted you would mistrust me。; 

     ;For granted�察�sir�拭     �Have you been so much mistrusted�拭─�

     ;I think I am justified in answering yes。           But I may have mistrusted�察�

too�察�on my part。       No matter just now。        We were speaking of the Junction 

last time。    I have passed hours there since the day before yesterday。; 

     ;Are you now the gentleman for Somewhere�拭─�she asked with a smile。 

     ;Certainly for Somewhere�察�but I don't yet know Where。                   You would 

never guess what I am travelling from。            Shall I tell you�拭     �I am travelling 

from my birthday。;

     ;Yes�察─  �said   Barbox   Brothers�察  �not   quite   easy   in   his   chair�察   �from   my 

birthday。     I am�察�to myself�察�an unintelligible book with the earlier chapters 

all torn out�察�and thrown away。          My childhood had no grace of childhood�察�

my youth had no charm of youth�察�and what can be expected from such a 

lost beginning�拭─       �His eyes meeting hers as they were addressed intently

bed a place for the graces of childhood and the charms of youth to take to 

kindly�拭    �Oh�察�shame�察�shame� ─�

making   as   though   he   had   a   difficulty   in   swallowing   something�察   �to   go 

wrong about that。        I don't know how I came to speak of that。 I hope it is 

because of an old misplaced confidence in one of your sex involving an 

old bitter treachery。      I don't know。      I am all wrong together。;

he saw that her eyes were thoughtfully following them。 

     ;I   am   travelling    from   my    birthday�察─  �he   resumed�察     �because     it  has 

always   been   a   dreary   day   to   me。  My   first   free   birthday   coming   round
