'I shall be here constantly in my attendance upon him
and in the transaction of business matters. You will allow me to see you again
and to consult what should be done
and learn your wishes?'
She motioned him towards the door.
'I cannot even decide whether to tell him I have spoken to you yet; or to lead him to suppose that I have deferred doing so
for want of opportunity
or for any other reason. It will be necessary that you should enable me to consult with you very soon.
'At any time but now
' she answered.
'You will understand
when I wish to see you
that Miss Dombey is not to be present; and that I seek an interview as one who has the happiness to possess your confidence
and who es to render you every assistance in his power

she is lost to me
and I have no hope left!'This man

went home musing to bed
thinking
with a dainty pleasure
how imperious her passion was
how she had sat before him in her beauty
with the dark eyes that had never turned away but once; how the white down had fluttered; how the bird's feathers had been strewn upon the ground.
