Here

she

ceased

;

and

snapping

her

reticule

again

,

and

shutting

her

mouth

,

looked

as

if

she

might

be

broken

,

but

could

never

be

bent

.

‘

You

have

heard

Miss

Murdstone

,

’

said

Mr

.

Spenlow

,

turning

to

me

.

‘

I

beg

to

ask

,

Mr

.

Copperfield

,

if

you

have

anything

to

say

in

reply

?

’

The

picture

I

had

before

me

,

of

the

beautiful

little

treasure

of

my

heart

,

sobbing

and

crying

all

night

—

of

her

being

alone

,

frightened

,

and

wretched

,

then

—

of

her

having

so

piteously

begged

and

prayed

that

stony

-

hearted

woman

to

forgive

her

—

of

her

having

vainly

offered

her

those

kisses

,

work

-

boxes

,

and

trinkets

—

of

her

being

in

such

grievous

distress

,

and

all

for

me

—

very

much

impaired

the

little

dignity

I

had

been

able

to

muster

.

I

am

afraid

I

was

in

a

tremulous

state

for

a

minute

or

so

,

though

I

did

my

best

to

disguise

it

.

‘

There

is

nothing

I

can

say

,

sir

I

returned

,

‘

except

that

all

the

blame

is

mine

‘

Miss

Spenlow

,

if

you

please

,

’

said

her

father

,

majestically

.

‘

-

was

induced

and

persuaded

by

me

,

’

I

went

on

,

swallowing

that

colder

designation

,

‘

to

consent

to

this

concealment

,

and

I

bitterly

regret

it

.

’

‘

You

are

very

much

to

blame

,

sir

,

said

Mr

Spenlow

,

walking

to

and

fro

upon

the

hearth

-

rug

,

and

emphasizing

what

he

said

with

his

whole

body

instead

of

his

head

,

on

account

of

the

stiffness

of

his

cravat

and

spine

.

‘

You

have

done

a

stealthy

and

unbecoming

action

,

Mr

.

Copperfield

.

When

I

take

a

gentleman

to

my

house

,

no

matter

whether

he

is

nineteen

,

twenty

-

nine

,

or

ninety

,

I

take

him

there

in

a

spirit

of

confidence

.

If

he

abuses

my

confidence

,

he

commits

a

dishonourable

action

,

Mr

.

Copperfield

.

’

‘

I

feel

it

,

sir

,

I

assure

you

,

’

I

returned

.

‘

But

I

never

thought

so

,

before

.

Sincerely

,

honestly

,

indeed

,

Mr

.

Spenlow

,

I

never

thought

so

,

before

.

I

love

Miss

Spenlow

to

that

extent

—

—

’

‘

Pooh

!

nonsense

!

’

said

Mr

.

Spenlow

,

reddening

.

‘

Pray

don

’

t

tell

me

to

my

face

that

you

love

my

daughter

,

Mr

.

Copperfield

!
