Sir Thomas was to return in November, and his eldest son had duties to call him earlier home. The approach of September brought tidings of Mr. Bertram, first in a letter to the gamekeeper and then in a letter to Edmund; and by the end of August he arrived himself, to be gay, agreeable, and gallant again as occasion served, or Miss Crawford demanded; to tell of races and Weymouth, and parties and friends, to which she might have listened six weeks before with some interest,

and altogether to give her the fullest conviction, by the power of actual comparison, of her preferring his younger brother. ¡¡¡¡ It was very vexatious, and she was heartily sorry for it; but so it was; and so far from now meaning to marry the elder, she did not even want to attract him beyond

Therefore, when the breakfast was done and cleared away, and he and the Doctor were left together, Mr. Lorry said, feelingly: ¡¡¡¡"My dear Manette, I am anxious to have your opinion, in confidence, on a very curious case in which I am deeply interested; that is to say, it is very curious to me; perhaps, to your better information it may be less so." ¡¡¡¡Glancing at his hands, which were discoloured by his late work, the Doctor looked troubled, and listened attentively. He had already glanced at his hands more than once. ¡¡¡¡"Doctor Manette,"
said Mr. Lorry, touching him affectionately on the arm, "the case is the case of a particularly dear friend of mine. Pray give your mind to it, and advise me well for his sake- and above all, for his daughter's- his daughter's, my dear Manette."

before breakfast, in writing the direction-card which he attached to the little brown valise of happier days, the eagle-glance of matrimonial anxiety detected, d, o, n, distinctly traced. The West-End destination of the coach, is the Golden Cross. Dare I fervently implore Mr. T. to see my misguided husband, and to reason with him? Dare I ask Mr. T. to endeavour to step in between Mr. Micawber and his agonized family? Oh no, for that would be too much! ¡¡

¡¡'If Mr. Copperfield should yet remember one unknown to fame, will Mr. T. take charge of my unalterable regards and similar entreaties? In any case, he will have the benevolence to consider this communication strictly private, and on no account whatever to be alluded to, however distantly, in the presence of Mr. Micawber. If Mr. T. should ever reply to it (which I cannot but feel to be most improbable), a letter addressed to M. E., Post Office, Canterbury, will be fraught with less painful consequences than any addressed immediately to one, who subscribes herself, in extreme distress,

'Ah! Mercy upon us!' sighed my aunt. 'I know all about it, Trot! Barkis and myself had quite a gossip while you were out with Dick. I know all about it. I don't know where these wretched girls expect to go to, for my part. I wonder they don't knock out their brains against - against mantelpieces,' said my aunt; an idea which was probably suggested to her by her contemplation of mine. ¡¡¡¡'Poor Emily!' said I. ¡¡¡¡'Oh, don't talk to me about poor,' returned my aunt. 'She should have thought of that, before she caused so much misery! Give me a kiss, Trot. I am sorry for your early experience.' ¡¡¡¡As I bent forward, she put her tumbler on my knee to detain me, and said: ¡¡¡¡'Oh, Trot, Trot! And so you fancy yourself in love! Do you?' ¡¡¡¡'Fancy, aunt!'
I exclaimed, as red as I could be. 'I adore her with my whole soul!' ¡¡¡¡'Dora, indeed!' returned my aunt. 'And you mean to say the little thing is very fascinating, I suppose?' ¡¡¡¡'My dear aunt,' I replied, 'no one can form the least idea what she is!' ¡¡¡¡'Ah! And not silly?' said my aunt. ¡¡¡¡'Silly, aunt!' ¡¡¡¡I seriously believe it had never once entered my head for a single moment, to consider whether she was or not. I resented the idea, of course; but I was in a manner struck by it, as a new one altogether.

'But he could board somewhere else, I suppose?' suggested my aunt. ¡¡¡¡Mr. Wickfield thought I could. After a little discussion, he proposed to take my aunt to the school, that she might see it and judge for herself; also, to take her, with the same object, to two or three houses where he thought I could be boarded. My aunt embracing the proposal, we were all three going out together, when he stopped and said: ¡¡¡¡'Our little friend here might have some motive, perhaps, for objecting to the arrangements. I think we had better leave him behind?'
¡¡¡¡My aunt seemed disposed to contest the point; but to facilitate matters I said I would gladly remain behind, if they pleased; and returned into Mr. Wickfield's office, where I sat down again, in the chair I had first occupied, to await their return. ¡¡¡¡It so happened that this chair was opposite a narrow passage, which ended in the little circular room where I had seen Uriah Heep's pale face looking out of the window. Uriah, having taken the pony to a neighbouring stable, was at work at a desk in this room, which had a brass frame on the top to hang paper upon, and on

accessing certain areas to certain vehicles. The shield operator suddenly checked hismonitor with alarm; the view-screen depicted the battle station itself, the moon Endor,and a web of energy—the deflector shield—emanating from the green moon,encompassing the Death Star. Only now, the security web was beginning to separate,to retract and form a clear channel—a channel through which the dot that was theImperial shuttle sailed, unimpeded, toward the massive space station. The shield operator quickly called his control officer over to the view-screen,uncertain how to proceed. "What is it?" the officer demanded. "That shuttle has a class-one priority ranking." He tried to replace the fear inhis voice with disbelief. The officer glanced at the view-screen for only a moment before realizing whowas on the shuttle and spoke to himself: "Vader!" He strode past the view port, where the shuttle could be seen already making itsfinal approach, and headed toward the docking bay. He turned to the controller. "Inform the commander that Lord Vader's shuttle has arrived.

"That was a long time ago," he answered sharply. "I'm sure he's forgotten allabout it." But he began to wonder if Lando had forgotten the past… "Permission granted to land on Platform 327. Any deviation of flight patternwill bring about your—" Angrily, Han switched off the radio. Why was he being put through thisharassment? He was coming here peacefully; wasn't Lando going to let bygones bybygones? Chewbacca grunted and glanced at Solo, who turned to Leia and herworried robot. "He'll help us," he said, trying to reassure them all. "We go wayback…really. Don't worry." "Who's worried?" she lied unconvincingly. By then they could clearly see the Cloud City of Bespin through the cockpitwindow. The city was immense and seemed to float in the clouds as it emergedthrough the white atmosphere. As the Millennium Falcon approached the city, itbecame evident that the expansive city structure was supported from below by a thin

Leia gave the taller droid a nod of acknowledgment, but did not speak. Herthoughts were occupied with the pair of missing heroes. Most disturbing to her wasthat she found her mind focused on one of the two: a dark-haired Corellian whosewords were not always to be taken literally. As the princess kept watch, Major Derlin turned to acknowledge a Rebellieutenant reporting in. "All patrols are now in except Solo and Skywalker, sir." The major looked over at Princess Leia. "Your Highness," he said, his voiceweighty with regret, "nothing more can be done tonight. The temperature isdropping fast. The shield doors must be closed. I'm sorry." Derlin waited amoment, then addressed the lieutenant. "Close the doors." The Rebel officer turned to carry out Derlin's order and immediately thechamber of ice seemed to drop even more in temperature as the mournful Wookieehowled his grief. "The speeders should be ready in the morning," the major said to Leia."They'll make the search easier."

Suddenly awed by the adulation of the crowd, Luke turned away. He gave thetired fighter a look of approval, then found his gaze traveling upward, up to theceiling high overhead. For a second he thought he heard something faintly like agratified sigh, a relaxing of muscles a crazy old man had once performed in momentsof pleasure. Of course, it was probably the intruding hot wind of a steaming jungleworld, but Luke smiled anyway at what he thought he saw up here. There were many rooms in the vast expanse of the temple, which had beenconverted for modern service by the technicians of the Alliance. Even in theirdesperate need, however, there was something too clean and classically beautifulabout the ruins of the ancient throne room for the architects to modify. They had leftit as it was, save for scouring it clear of creeping jungle growth and debris. For the first time in thousands of years that spacious chamber was full.Hundreds of rebel troops and technicians stood assembled on the old stone floor,gathered together for one last time before dispersing to new posts and distant homes.For the first time ever the massed ranks of pressed uniforms and polished semi-armorstood arrayed together in a fitting show of Alliance might.

Back in the gentry office Artoo Detoo beeped and whistled frantically asThreepio adjusted controls, fighting to clear the awkward transmission. "I said, allsystems have been alerted to your presence, sir. The main entry seems to be the onlyway in or out of the cell block." He pressed instruments, and the view on the nearbyreadouts changed steadily. "All other information on your section is restricted." Someone began banging on the locked door to the office—evenly at first andthen, when no response was forthcoming from within, more insistently. "Oh, no!" Threepio groaned. The smoke in the cell corridor was now so intense that it was difficult for Soloand Chewbacca to pick their targets. That was fortunate inasmuch as they were nowbadly outnumbered and the smoke confused the Imperials' fire with equalthoroughness. Every so often one of the soldiers would attempt to move closer, only to standexposed as he penetrated the smoke. Under the accurate fire of the two smugglers,he would rapidly join the accumulating mass of motionless figures on the rampwayflooring. Energy bolts continued to ricochet wildly through the block as Luke moved closeto Solo. "There isn't other way out." he yelled over the deafening roar of concentratedfire.
