Richard had been gone away some time when a visitor came to pass afew days with us. It was an elderly lady. It was Mrs. Woodcourt,who, having come from Wales to stay with Mrs. Bayham Badger¹ andhaving written to my guardian², "by her son Allan's desire," toreport that she had heard from him and that he was well "and senthis kind remembrances to all of us," had been invited by myguardian to make a visit to Bleak³ House. She stayed with us nearlythree weeks. She took very kindly⁴ to me and was extremelyconfidential, so much so that sometimes she almost made meuncomfortable. I had no right, I knew very well, to beuncomfortable because she confided⁷ in me, and I felt it wasunreasonable; still, with all I could do, I could not quite help it.

　　She was such a sharp little lady and used to sit with her handsfolded in each other looking so very watchful⁸ while she talked tome that perhaps I found that rather irksome. Or perhaps it was herbeing so upright and trim, though I don't think it was that,because I thought that quaintly⁹ pleasant. Nor can it have been thegeneral expression of her face, which was very sparkling and prettyfor an old lady. I don't know what it was. Or at least if I donow, I thought I did not then. Or at least--but it don't matter.

　　Of a night when I was going upstairs to bed, she would invite meinto her room, where she sat before the fire in a great chair; and,dear me, she would tell me about Morgan ap-Kerrig until I was quitelow-spirited! Sometimes she recited a few verses fromCrumlinwallinwer and the Mewlinn-willinwodd (if those are the rightnames, which I dare say they are not), and would become quite fierywith the sentiments they expressed. Though I never knew what theywere (being in Welsh), further than that they were highlyeulogistic of the lineage of Morgan ap-Kerrig.

　　"So, Miss Summerson," she would say to me with stately triumph,"this, you see, is the fortune inherited by my son. Wherever myson goes, he can claim kindred with Ap-Kerrig. He may not havemoney, but he always has what is much better--family, my dear."I had my doubts of their caring so very much for Morgan ap-Kerrigin India and China, but of course I never expressed them. I usedto say it was a great thing to be so highly connected.
