But he married my mother soon after�察�and I remember he seemed exactly 
the   same�察  �to   my   keen   childish   observation�察  �the   week   after   her   death   as 
before。     But   now�察  �at   last�察  �a   sorrow   had   ethe   sorrow   of   old   age�察�
which   suffers   the   more   from   the   crushing   of   its   pride   and   its   hopes�察  �in 
proportion as the pride and hope are narrow and prosaic。 His son was to 
have been married soonwould probably have stood for the borough at the 
next   election。      That   son's   existence   was   the   best   motive   that   could   be 
alleged   for   making   new   purchases   of   land   every   year   to   round   off   the 
estate。    It is a dreary thing onto live on doing the same things year after 
year�察   �without     knowing      why     we    do   them。     Perhaps       the   tragedy    of 
disappointed       youth     and   passion     is  less   piteous    than    the   tragedy    of 
disappointed age and worldliness。 
     As I saw into the desolation of my father's heart�察�I felt a movement of 
deep   pity  towards   him�察  �which   was   the  beginning   of   a   new   affectionan 
affection that grew and strengthened in spite of the strange bitterness with 
which he regarded me in the first month or two after my brother's death。 
If it had not been for the softening influence of my passion for him 
the first deep passion I had ever feltI should have been stung by the 
perception that my father transferred the inheritance of an eldest son to me 
with   a   mortified   sense   that   fate   had   pelled   him   to   the   unwele 
course   of   caring   for   me   as   an   important   being。    It   was   only   in   spite   of 
himself that he began to think of me with anxious regard。                    There is hardly 
any   neglected   child   for   whom   death   has   made   vacant   a   more   favoured 
place�察�who will not understand what I mean。 
     Gradually�察�however�察�my new deference to his wishes�察�the effect of that 
patience which was born of my pity for him�察�won upon his affection�察�and 
he    began    to  please    himself    with    the  endeavour      to   make    me    fill  any 
brother's place as fully as my feebler personality would admit。                   I saw that 
the   prospect   which   by   and   by   presented   itself   of   my   being   Bertha's 
husband was wele to him�察�and he even contemplated in my case what 
he   had   not   intended   in   my   brother'sthat   his   son   and   daughter´in´law 
should make one household with him。                 My softened feelings towards my 
father made this the happiest time I had known since childhood��these last 
months   in   which   I   retained   the   delicious   illusion   of   loving   Bertha�察  �of 
longing and doubting and hoping that she might love me。                       She behaved 
with    a  certain    new    consciousness      and   distance    towards     me   after   my 
brother's death�察�and I too was under a double constraint that of delicacy 
towards   my   brother's   memory   and   of   anxiety   as   to   the   impression   my 
abrupt words had left on her mind。             But the additional screen this mutual 
reserve   erected   between us   only  brought   me   more   pletely  under   her 
power�此     �no    matter   how     empty    the  adytum�察    �so   that  the   veil  be   thick 
enough。       So    absolute     is  our   soul's   need    of   something      hidden    and 
uncertain for the maintenance of that doubt and hope and effort which are 
the breath of its life�察�that if the whole future were laid bare to us beyond 
to´day�察  �the   interest   of   all   mankind   would   be   bent   on   the   hours   that   lie 
between�察  �we   should pant   after   the   uncertainties   of   our one   morning   and 
our   one   afternoon�察  �we   should   rush   fiercely  to   the   Exchange   for   our   last 
possibility of speculation�察�of success�察�of disappointment�此�we should have a 
glut of political prophets foretelling a crisis or a no´crisis within the only 
twenty´four hours left open to prophecy。               Conceive the condition of the 
human mind if all propositions whatsoever were self´evident except one�察�
which was to bee self´evident at the close of a summer's day�察�but in 
the meantime might be the subject of question�察�of hypothesis�察�of debate。 
Art and philosophy�察�literature and science�察�would fasten like bees on that 
one proposition which had the honey of probability in it�察�and be the more 
eager because their enjoyment would end with sunset。                   Our impulses�察�our 
spiritual   activities�察 �no   more   adjust   themselves   to   the  idea   of   their   future 
nullity�察�than the beating of our heart�察�or the irritability of our muscles。 
     Bertha�察�the slim�察�fair´haired girl�察�whose present thoughts and emotions 
were an enigma to me amidst the fatiguing obviousness of the other minds 
around   me�察  �was   as   absorbing   to   me   as   a   single   unknown   to´dayas   a 
single hypothetic proposition to remain problematic till sunset�察�and all the 
cramped�察�hemmed´in belief and disbelief�察�trust and distrust�察�of my nature�察�
welled out in this one narrow channel。 
     And she made me believe that she loved me。                   Without ever quitting 
her tone of BADINAGE and playful superiority�察�she intoxicated me with 
the sense that I was necessary to her�察�that she was never at ease�察�unless I 
was near her�察�submitting to her playful tyranny。              It costs a woman so little 
effort    to  beset   us  in  this  way�     �A   half´   repressed    word�察   �a  moment's 
unexpected   silence�察  �even   an   easy   fit   of   petulance   on   our   account�察  �will 
serve us as hashish for a long while。            Out of the subtlest web of scarcely 
perceptible     signs�察  �she   set  me   weaving     the   fancy   that  she   had   always 
unconsciously   loved   me   better   than   Alfred�察  �but   that�察  �with   the   ignorant 
fluttered sensibility of a young girl�察�she had been imposed on by the charm 
that lay for her in the distinction of being admired and chosen by a man 
who made so brilliant a figure in the world as my brother。 She satirized 
herself in a very graceful way for her vanity and ambition。                   What was it 
to me that I had the light of my wretched provision on the fact that now it 
was   I   who   possessed   at   least   all   but   the   personal   part   of   my   brother's 
advantages�拭      �Our   sweet   illusions   are   half   of   them   conscious   illusions�察�
like effects of colour that we know to be made up of tinsel�察�broken glass�察�
and rags。 
     We were married eighteen months after Alfred's death�察�one cold�察�clear 
morning in April�察�when there came hail and sunshine both together�察�and 
Bertha�察�in her white silk and pale´green leaves�察�and the pale hues of her 
hair   and   face�察  �looked    like  the   spirit  of  the  morning。     My   father     was 
happier   than   he   had   thought   of   being   again�此  �my   marriage�察  �he   felt   sure�察�
would plete the desirable modification of my character�察�and make me 
practical and worldly enough to take my place in society among sane men。 
For he delighted in Bertha's tact and acuteness�察�and felt sure she would be 
mistress of me�察�and make me what she chose�此                  �I was only twenty´ one�察�
and   madly   in   love   with   her。   Poor   father�     �He   kept   that   hope   a   little 
while after   our   first   year   of   marriage�察  �and it   was   not quite   extinct   when 
paralysis came and saved him from utter disappointment。 
     I shall hurry through the rest of my story�察�not dwelling so much as I 
have   hitherto   done   on   my   inward   experience。            When   people   are   well 
known   to   each   other�察  �they   talk   rather   of   what   befalls   them   externally�察�
leaving their feelings and sentiments to be inferred。 
     We   lived   in   a   round   of   visits   for   some   time   after   our   return   home�察�
giving       splendid      dinner´parties�察      �and    making       a    sensation      in    our 
neighbourhood   by   the         new    lustre   of  our   equipage�察     �for  my   father    had 
reserved   this   display   of   his   increased   wealth   for   the   period   of   his   son's 
marriage�察      �and    we     gave     our   acquaintances        liberal    opportunity       for 
remarking   that   it   was   a   pity   I   made   so   poor   a   figure   as   an   heir   and   a 
bridegroom。         The nervous fatigue of this existence�察�the insincerities and 
platitudes which I had to live through twice overthrough my inner and 
outward sensewould have been maddening to me�察�if I had not had that 
sort   of   intoxicated   callousness   which   came   from   the   delights   of   a   first 
passion。      A  bride   and   bridegroom�察  �surrounded   by   all   the   appliances   of 
wealth�察    �hurried    through     the   day    by   the  whirl    of  society�察   �filling   their 
solitary   moments   with   hastily´snatched   caresses�察  �are   prepared   for   their 
future     life   together     as   the   novice     is   prepared      for   the   cloisterby 
experiencing its utmost contrast。 
     Through       all   these   crowded       excited    months�察     �Bertha's    inward     self 
remained shrouded from me�察�and I still read her thoughts only through the 
language   of   her   lips   and   demeanour�此        �I   had   still   the   human   interest   of 
wondering whether what I did and said pleased her�察�of longing to hear a 
word   of   affection�察  �of   giving   a   delicious   exaggeration   of   meaning   to   her 
smile。      But    I  was    conscious      of  a  growing      difference     in  her   manner 
towards      me�察   �sometimes      strong    enough     to  be   called    haughty     coldness�察�
cutting and chilling me as the hail had done that came across the sunshine 
on   our   marriage   morning�察  �sometimes   only   perceptible   in   the   dexterous 
avoidance   of   a   tete´a´tete   walk   or   dinner   to   which   I   had   been
