Under the intoxicating spell of her presence all other dreams passed, for the time, into nothingness and he passionately cried, "Helen, I love now now for the first and only time!" Yet he was poor, and the weaknesses which had caused him to fall in the past might cause him to fall in the future. How could he plead for a return of his love? His very self-abasement made his plea more strong.
"Tears flowed unrestrainedly over my face as I howled in self-abasement "'To look at the shape of my nose. "At this point Aunt Harriet rose, and, turning her back rather abruptly, crossed the room, and picked up Mr. Joseph. "'What have you had this picture down for? she inquired, still with her back to me. "'I couldn't see, I sobbed, 'and I got Mr. Joseph to help me.
"Of course," he muttered to himself a minute later with a feeling of self-abasement, "of course, all these infamies can never be wiped out or smoothed over... and so it's useless even to think of it, and I must go to them in silence and do my duty... in silence, too... and not ask forgiveness, and say nothing... for all is lost now!"
I was not so vexed at losing Agnes as I might have been, since it gave me an opportunity of making myself known to Traddles on the stairs, who greeted me with great fervour; while Uriah writhed with such obtrusive satisfaction and self-abasement, that I could gladly have pitched him over the banisters.
