I must see what can be done. My heart leaped with a new hope of pleasure. But it was in reference to the tone in which he had spoken of 'that sort of people', that Miss Dartle, whose sparkling eyes had been watchful of us, now broke in again. 'Oh, but, really? Do tell me. Are they, though? she said. 'Are they what? And are who what? said Steerforth.
The conservatory doors were standing open, and Rosa Dartle was walking, bareheaded, with a quick, impetuous step, up and down a gravel walk on one side of the lawn. She gave me the idea of some fierce thing, that was dragging the length of its chain to and fro upon a beaten track, and wearing its heart out.
Its leaves and shoots were green then, and the day being sunny, a pair of glass doors leading to the garden were thrown open. Rosa Dartle, entering this way with a noiseless step, when we were close to them, addressed herself to me: 'You do well, she said, 'indeed, to bring this fellow here!
'If you please, sir, would you have the goodness to walk in, and speak to Miss Dartle? 'Has Miss Dartle sent you for me? I inquired. 'Not tonight, sir, but it's just the same. Miss Dartle saw you pass a night or two ago; and I was to sit at work on the staircase, and when I saw you pass again, to ask you to step in and speak to her.
'Why do you bring this man here? 'He is a deeply-injured man, Miss Dartle, I replied. 'You may not know it. 'I know that James Steerforth, she said, with her hand on her bosom, as if to prevent the storm that was raging there, from being loud, 'has a false, corrupt heart, and is a traitor. But what need I know or care about this fellow, and his common niece?
'Yes, I am convinced of it, said Mrs. Steerforth. 'How very nice! exclaimed Miss Dartle. 'What a comfort! Really conscientious? Then he's not but of course he can't be, if he's really conscientious. Well, I shall be quite happy in my opinion of him, from this time. You can't think how it elevates him in my opinion, to know for certain that he's really conscientious!
I want you to stand between Rosa Dartle and me, and keep us asunder. 'Would you love each other too much, without me? 'Yes; or hate, laughed Steerforth; 'no matter which. Come! Say the next day! I said the next day; and he put on his great-coat and lighted his cigar, and set off to walk home.
No Littimer appeared. The pleasanter face which had replaced his, on the occasion of my last visit, answered to our summons, and went before us to the drawing-room. Mrs. Steerforth was sitting there. Rosa Dartle glided, as we went in, from another part of the room and stood behind her chair. I saw, directly, in his mother's face, that she knew from himself what he had done.
I have heard of such means sometimes. I believe they may be easily found. A low crying, on the part of Emily, interrupted her here. She stopped, and listened to it as if it were music. 'I am of a strange nature, perhaps, Rosa Dartle went on; 'but I can't breathe freely in the air you breathe. I find it sickly. Therefore, I will have it cleared; I will have it purified of you.
'Indeed, Miss Dartle, no! As she looked full at me, I saw her face grow sharper and paler, and the marks of the old wound lengthen out until it cut through the disfigured lip, and deep into the nether lip, and slanted down the face. There was something positively awful to me in this, and in the brightness of her eyes, as she said, looking fixedly at me: 'What is he doing?
