Sir?\"\r\n\r\n\"I have no explanation, Delly; and from you, I must have no amazement.\r\nMy cousin,--mind, my _cousin_, Miss Tartan, is coming to live with us.\r\nThe next room to this, on the other side there, is unoccupied. That room\r\nshall be hers. You must wait upon her, too, Delly.\"\r\n\r\n\"Certainly sir, certainly; I will do any thing;\" said Delly trembling;\r\n\"but,--but--does Mrs. Glendin-din--does my mistress know this?\"\r\n\r\n\"My wife knows all\"--said Pierre sternly. \"I will go down and get the\r\nkey of the room; and you must sweep it out.\"\r\n\r\n\"What is to be put into it, sir?\" said Delly. \"Miss Tartan--why, she is\r\nused to all sorts of fine things,--rich\r\ncarpets--wardrobes--mirrors--curtains;--why, why, why!\"\r\n\r\n\"Look,\" said Pierre, touching an old rug with his foot;--\"here is a bit\r\nof carpet; drag that into her room; here is a chair, put that in; and\r\nfor a bed,--ay, ay,\" he muttered to himself; \"I have made it for her,\r\nand she ignorantly lies on it now!--as made--so lie. Oh God!\"\r\n\r\n\"Hark! my mistress is calling\"--cried Delly, moving toward the opposite\r\nroom.\r\n\r\n\"Stay!\"--cried Pierre, grasping her shoulder; \"if both called at one\r\ntime from these opposite chambers, and both were swooning, which door\r\nwould you first fly to?\"\r\n\r\nThe girl gazed at him uncomprehendingly and affrighted a moment; and\r\nthen said,--\"This one, sir\"--out of mere confusion perhaps, putting her\r\nhand on Isabel's latch.\r\n\r\n\"It is well. Now go.\"\r\n\r\nHe stood in an intent unchanged attitude till Delly returned.\r\n\r\n\"How is my wife, now?\"\r\n\r\nAgain startled by the peculiar emphasis placed on the magical word\r\n_wife_, Delly, who had long before this, been occasionally struck with\r\nthe infrequency of his using that term; she looked at him perplexedly,\r\nand said half-unconsciously--\r\n\r\n\"Your wife, sir?\"\r\n\r\n\"Ay, is she not?\"\r\n\r\n\"God grant that she be--Oh, 'tis most cruel to ask that of poor, poor\r\nDelly, sir!\"\r\n\r\n\"Tut for thy tears! Never deny it again then!--I swear to heaven, she\r\nis!\"\r\n\r\nWith these wild words, Pierre seized his hat, and departed the room,\r\nmuttering something about bringing the key of the additional chamber.\r\n\r\nAs the door closed on him, Delly dropped on her knees. She lifted her\r\nhead toward the ceiling, but dropped it again, as if tyrannically awed\r\ndownward, and bent it low over, till her whole form tremulously cringed\r\nto the floor.\r\n\r\n\"God that made me, and that wast not so hard to me as wicked Delly\r\ndeserved,--God that made me, I pray to thee! ward it off from me, if it\r\nbe coming to me. Be not deaf to me; these stony walls--Thou canst hear\r\nthrough them. Pity! pity!--mercy, my God!--If they are not married; if\r\nI, penitentially seeking to be pure, am now but the servant to a greater\r\nsin, than I myself committed: then, pity! pity! pity! pity! pity! Oh God\r\nthat made me,--See me, see me here--what can Delly do? If I go hence,\r\nnone will take me in but villains. If I stay, then--for stay I must--and\r\nthey be not married,--then pity, pity, pity, pity, pity!\"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r","title":"Chunk 5"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG8AKWWX2BGWJCE64KZJVE77","peer_type":"section","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG89J1JSYKSGCE149MH9HF6A","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG89HMDZKNY753EZE1CJ8HZW","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG8AN123JBBGN6Z4WBQYMQVG","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"prev"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-30T20:48:56.387Z","ts":"2026-01-30T20:49:33.198Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H"}}
